Override Order State

[luxurious_04]

Is there a way to override the order state and it would display in the Orders Tab?

Hello luxurious_04,

By override the orders state do you mean to change it from something like State.Working to State.Filled manually? Can you provide more detail about what you are trying to do?

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Yes I want that example, from State.Working to State.Filled manually.

Hello luxurious_04,

That is not something that you can do you would need to allow the order to progress naturally, I just provided that as an example to get more details from you.

Can you provide more detail on what your goal is? It is not clear what you are trying to do here.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

We have this GUI built from SciChart, then NT orders will be sent to that GUI but the GUI from SciChart will be the one to change the state of the NT order. If the order state from SciChart is already filled then it should reflect to the same order in NT.

Hello luxurious_04,

If NinjaTrader submitted the order to a supported broker or to the Sim engine either the broker or sim engine would be in control of that order. Once it fills you could notify your other software of that, it would not work the other way around. If your other software sees a fill before it actually fills in the platform/broker you would likely need to inform NinjaTrader to change the order to match so it fills rather than changing its state to match filled.

You can influence the order by using ChangeOrder or issuing a change to it but you cannot just arbitrarily change its properties and have it work.



Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
