Using the NinjaTrader.dll, Command Method not allowing for OrderId assignment.

Using the .Command Method, NT8 just creates its own OrderId, despite me passing my own.

Hello dvaughn,

This would be expected behavior. The brokerage does generate their own order id when the order is accepted which is then updated in NinjaTrader for the order object.

However, through the API, you can still use the original order ID you generated for the order to get information about the order with the OrderStatus() method.

Wow, that does work.
Thanks Chelsea!
