Order capacity

[elliot5]

If via a looping command an order for say 300 contracts gets broken down into 300x 1 lots entry orders, will NT have performance / order management issues? Basic question is does NT have issues with handling large numbers of orders at once?

Regards and thx guys

Hello elliot5,

Thank you for your post.

Generally speaking, NinjaTrader does not have issues submitting/managing a large number of orders. Can you please confirm if you plan on submitting these orders via NinjaScript that you are creating?

I look forward to your response.

Hello Elliot5,

Thank you for the confirmation.

NinjaTrader can handle a high volume of orders but performance really depends on how your script is written and designed to issue those orders.

It is important to note that everyone's scripts and PC environment is a little different so it is hard for us to say for sure whether something programmed by a user will or will not perform well.

I am not an engineering support team member but that there is some good information in the link below about how NT utilizes resources.

We do not provide scripting services or debugging services directly; however, if you contact our Engineering Support team, they can suggest educational resources that you may want to review for your script.

If you have additional questions, please let us know. Happy Trading!
