OIF automated trading outgoing files for state not showing the order id.

[martinlombana]

UPON entering this OIF files for automated trading using the file system, in the INCOMING folder, in the OUTGOING folder, almost everything is correct and the files are generated with the corresponding ids... except for the status files, that contain WORKING and FLAT, thus, making it impossible to follow up on the trades correctly.

OIF1.txt
PLACE;Sim101;NQ 06-23;BUY;1;MARKET;;;DAY;;ORDER5;NQATM;ORDER5
PLACE;Sim101;ES 06-23;BUY;1;MARKET;;;DAY;;ORDER6;ESATM;ORDER6

OIF4.txt
CLOSESTRATEGY;;;;;;;;;;;;ORDER5
CLOSESTRATEGY;;;;;;;;;;;;ORDER6


Is there any fix for this?

(Take a look at the attatched thumbnail).

This happens in all versions of ninjatrader 8, even the new one with the google login.

Hello, thanks for writing in. This is a specific limitation of the OIF file system. The ID you are seeing is for the stop or target orders generated by the ATM. You can find these order IDs in the Orders tab of the control center. The only workaround for this would be to use the StopOrders() and TargetOrders() methods from the NinjaTrader.Client.dll interface which will give a list of the stops and targets along with their OrderID. This can then be used to identify the various files in the outgoing folder. See the example here:
