Order Instruction File OIF Question regarding PLACE

[set2win]

Hi,
I just became aware of the OIF and read through several posts on how to make it work. So in attempting to PLACE an order, I am using the following code:

file name OIF1.txt in the file: 'PLACE;Sim 101;NQ 12-21;BUY;1;Market;;;DAY;;;;'
Log shows the following message command parameter "PLACE" is unknown. Can someone explain what is wrong with my text file that NT rejects it?

Hello set2win,

Thanks for your post.

Do you have AT Interface enabled in the Tools > Options > Automated trading interface tab? This option would need to be enabled to place OIF orders.

It seems that you are adding a space in 'Sim 101' and not all the characters are capitalized. An example of using PLACE could be found below.

PLACE;SIM101;NQ 12-21;BUY;1;MARKET;0;0;DAY;;;;

Note that NinjaTrader 7 contains an OIF Builder that could be used to set up OIF orders and see the code generated for those orders. See the help guide page below.

Also, see the help guide documentation below for more information.

Thanks, I created the txt file as you wrote it and it fired off. Capitalized everything add the 0,0 and took off the quotes I had. I was just following what someone had posted in another post. Thanks again.
