DLL/ATI Interface overrides custom order IDs

[CarpetHooligan]

Hello,

I'm sending orders from a C# app to Ninja via the DLL/ATI interface using NinjaTrader.Client.Client
I supply a custom order ID so that I can reference the order later for adjustments.

For example:

NinjaTrader.Client.Client NTClient = new NinjaTrader.Client.Client();
string orderID = "MYORDER_A_" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString()
NTClient.Command("PLACE", "Sim101", "A", "BUY", 1, "MARKET", 0, 0, "GTC", "", orderID, "", "");

However, when the order is filled and I check Ninja logs the order ID always turns out something random that Ninja seems to generate in the background. Is this a bug?
I'm on Ninja 8.0.22.2 64-bit


Thanks.

Hello CarpetHooligan,

Thank you for your post.

I understand that the OIF order ID does not match the order ID you set in your code. This is normal behavior for OIF orders and is also the behavior in NinjaTrader 7.

If you would like, I could submit this as a feature request to the Development team and add your vote. Please let me know if you would like a feature request created.

Additionally, I see that you're using an older version of NinjaTrader 8. To update NinjaTrader, please follow the steps below:
