Reading Ninja Orders info

[ninjaexpert]

NT [8]:
]When an order is placed, a ninja Order Id gets generated and appears in the Orders tab.
I need to read this info when ever this happens.
From where we can read the orders placed by ninja?
Sample code will be of great help.

Hello ninjaexpert,

Are you wanting to do this from an addon?

You can subscribe to an account for order updates.

Below is a publicly available link to an example in the help guide.

Thanks for the pointer.
From which command in the list , I can get -
1) 'Ninjatrader generated order ID' I.e When a order is triggered at NT side through chart trader and actual fill from broker is pending. I mean at that stage of order.

I need to get all order details the moment it is placed and still not placed by broker.

Also Once broker gives a order ID how can I go and update in on NT side. [my broker does not provide bridge to NT right now]

Hello ninjaexpert,

I am responding to you on behalf of my colleague Chelsea who is out of the office today.

If NinjaTrader is not connected to your broker, it would get complicated to get order updates to occur. We would not be able to provide further direction for receiving updates or updated data outside of the supported built in adapters.

Orders submitted from NinjaTrader follow a flow of Submitted > Accepted > Working > Filled. Submitted will occur locally when each other action will have to be received from the broker on a live account. You could pick up on State.Submitted in OnOrderUpdate in a strategy for strategy specific orders or subscribing to OrderUpdate in an AddOn for Orders in relation to an account.

You could use Order objects to keep track of your orders which includes a string for tracking order ID's.

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

Hello ninjaexpert,

Using the following code,

for(int i = 0 ; i < Enum.GetNames(typeof(OrderState)).Length; i++)
	Print("Slot: " + i + " State: " + ((OrderState)i));

This is the output I received:

Slot: 0 State: Accepted
Slot: 1 State: Cancelled
Slot: 2 State: Filled
Slot: 3 State: Initialized
Slot: 4 State: PartFilled
Slot: 5 State: CancelSubmitted
Slot: 6 State: ChangeSubmitted
Slot: 7 State: Submitted
Slot: 8 State: TriggerPending
Slot: 9 State: Rejected
Slot: 10 State: Working
Slot: 11 State: CancelPending
Slot: 12 State: ChangePending

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

ENUM value for 'Order Types'

What are the enum values for all the 'Order Types' in the NT8

[NinjaTrader_Jim]

Hello ninjaexpert,

You can use the same two lines to find the enum values for OrderTypes instead of OrderStates.

For example:

for(int i = 0 ; i < Enum.GetNames(typeof(OrderType)).Length; i++)
	Print("Slot: " + i + " Type: " + ((OrderType)i));

Prints:

Slot: 0 Type: Limit
Slot: 1 Type: Market
Slot: 2 Type: MIT
Slot: 3 Type: StopLimit
Slot: 4 Type: StopMarket
