Exchange stop trades

[U0000999]

Hello, is there any option in NinjaTrader, when the Exchange stops trades (for instance in case of big falling) and my positions automatically close?

Thanks

There is no data sent by the exchange that specifically identifies an up/down limit or trading halt event, so there is no way to uniquely identify then take action. For example, a trading halt due to down limit 'looks' no different from a raw data perspective than when most US futures stop trading for an hour during the afternoon break between sessions.

With that said, through custom NinjaScript programming, you could detect a lack of data and then take an action. If you'd like more information about how to program this yourself, please create a thread in the NinjaScript sub-forums or write into PlatformSupport[AT]NinjaTrader[DOT]com.
