"total sell quantity of contract would exceed its limit affected Order"

What does this error message mean? I was trying to set a limit order and this kept popping up. It never happens in sim mode only in live trading.

"Rejected at RMS - total sell quantity of contract would exceed its limit affected Order"

Hello damethetrader,

Thank you for the message.

The forum is not a good place to ask questions about your orders as this is a publicly facing location.

• In the future, please write into Support[AT]NinjaTrader[DOT]com if you have questions about an order or order rejection so we may get your log and trace files and help analyze things further.

CRITICAL — If your inquiry involves live orders, please always reach out to your broker or evaluation provider immediately to confirm and manage your live orders and positions.

RMS stands for Risk Management System.

• So, these orders were rejected by your Broker or Evaluation Provider's Risk Management System
• This normally means the user has defined a Risk setting and is being limited by it.
  • From the error, it sounds like you set a Max order quantity.

You would want to reach out to your broker or evaluation provider and ask them why this message is appearing and what needs to be done to resolve it moving forward.

• Whatever Broker or Evaluation provider the orders are being sent to, that is who you would want to reach out to for more detailed information.

Please let us know if we may provide any further assistance.
