Execution order question

[martyn73]

Regarding item: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...logic-question

Based on the response that I received in Platform Technical Support I have a follow up question.

I have created a custom button that executes market entry orders. And using the NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AtmStrategy.StartAtmStrate gy method to execute the order for each button click. Do I need to manage my own logic to ensure the target and stop orders for the 1st button click are placed before moving on to next click? Or does NT still handle that for me? So if I double click NT would still make sure that the stop and target orders of my first entry are in place before executing the second click? Thanks!

Hello martyn73,

Thanks for your question.

StartAtmStrategy will submit your entry order with the ATM strategy attached. When NinjaTrader sees the order fill the target and stop are submitted because NinjaTrader knows the order is attached to an ATM strategy.

In your mentioned case, I expect both orders will be submitted and have an ATM strategy attached to those orders. You may test the AddOnFramework example to observe this.

If you want to have your button wait for the original order's stop/target to be placed before submitting the next order, this will require custom logic.

We look forward to assisting.

Yes, this part I understand. What I'm trying to find out is if NT holds/buffers/pauzes that 2nd click entry order until the first ATM strategy has its target and stop orders placed. Or does NT not do this, in which case it's possible that both entry orders (button click 1 and click 2) are send to the broker before the target and stop orders of the first atm strategy are placed? Please see my examples in the referenced post of the two scenarios.

This would be the case, both entry orders would be submitted before the targets and stops get submitted.

Let us know if there is anything else we can do to help.
