Sending a LIVE order from historical data (when not in REALTIME)

[ninjaketo]

While I understand this is not possible, I dare to ask just to double check in case there is any way we can do this. While for intraday strategies this is not needed, for daily/weekly long term strategies this could be useful. For example, you are not connected during market hours, and connect at any time when the market is closed. Then you simply run your strategy and submit/send any orders to your broker for execution when the market reopens. Any thoughts or ideas are welcome. Thank you.

Hello bertochi,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately, this would not be possible. From the support article linked below:

"Orders placed in historical data are backtest orders and are not submitted live to the Sim101 account or to any funded brokerage accounts. These are theoretical virtual orders that are never submitted to any account."

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Hello,

I just thought I'd ask, since it is possible to send a live order to your broker manually and since there are other "unsupported" code methods that get other jobs done, maybe someone knew a yet another "unsupported code method" to do this. Over the years of using NT I found the most useful scripts were the ones that were unsupported as they allowed to overcome restrictions imposed by the platform.

Thank you
