Is it posible set Order Quantity to 0?

[alejandro888]

Hello

Is it possible set order quantity to 0 on the chart trader? I tried with the code below, but it shows 1 as minimal quantity

quantitySelector.Value = 0

Also in case it being posible to set 0 and "placing" a buying/ selling order it will throw any error message? Does it avoid opening a further order?

Regards

Not sure, but WHY would you do that

Hello alejandro888,

An order cannot have a quantity of 0.

That said, below is a link to a post about the chart trader quantity selector.

Hi Chelsea,

Thanks for your replying I was curious about it because I wanted to void possible orders before they are executed. And I thought setting the quantity order to 0 in the chartrade as a posible solution in case it allows it or NinjaTrader throwing some error/message when that happens

Yeah it doesn't make sense place a 0 quantity order, but I was looking for some mechanism to void or invalidate posible orders before executed them. That is my question

Hello alejandro888,

Setting the quantity to 0 would not be the way to handle that.

If the code is submitting the order, have the logic not submit the order.
