NT Connections

[ajsdnyyrr1234DDf]

Does NT8 has to be always connected once a stop and limit orders are placed? Are the working and pending orders on the client system or saved to the Broker?

Hello ajsdnyyrr1234DDf,

Thank you for your note.

This would depend if it was a live or simulated order.

For simulated orders, they are locally stored and thus would never be working when the platform is not running and connected.

If an entry order is working with an active Atm Strategy and the order fills and the profit target and stop loss are submitted and enter a working / accepted state, these orders are now on the exchange. If the internet connection is lost after this, these orders will continue working but all stop strategy logic (if selected with the Atm Strategy) controlling the stop loss will cease. The order is still there protecting the position, but any trailing action would stop as NinjaTrader would not be able to communicate the change order requests to move the order.
Once the internet connection is regained, the trailing action would resume.

This behavior also applies to fully automated NinjaScript Strategies.

Let us know if we may assist further.
