Simulated Order status - can it be accessed by NinjaScript?

[martyn73]

Is the "Simulated Order" status a property that can be accessed by NinjaScript? I can't find any reference to it in the help guide. It also appears that it can't be passed as part of the CreateOrder() method.

Hello martyn73,
Thanks for your post.

Are you referring to 'Simulated Stop' orders or simply submitting orders to the SIM 101 account?

[martyn73]

Simulated stop orders.

martyn73,

The following page of our helpguide covers simulated stop orders:

The following is a link to the SetStopLoss, SetTrailStop, and SetParabolicStop sections of our helpguide which you can use a syntax accepting true or false for whether or not the stop is simulated:

Thank you, that helps in the context of submitting an order. But how can I check if a user has turned on "Simulated Order" on Chart Trader or on the SuperDOM. Can this property value be accessed?

[martyn73]

Can somebody from NT support provide an answer to my last question? Thanks!

martyn73,

You could do something like that using the Orders collection of the Account class. It would be the "IsSimulatedStop" property. You would not be able to tell if they simply had it turned on though without an order being submitted.

Please see the following link for more information on the Account class: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ount_class.htm
