How when ES contract reaches a given price - buy/sell MES?

[FOKS_444]

Hello. Can you please tell me... Is there an option in Ninja Trader desktop to buy/sell another contract (e.g. MES) when one contract reaches a certain price (e.g. ES)? I'm interested in the standard Ninja desktop features... Forgive me if the question has already been asked, but I could not find the answers ))))

Hello FOKS_444,

Thank you for the question.

It sounds like you are describing Limit Orders or Stop Limit Orders.

A limit order allows you to place an additional order at a specific price and then it only fill once it is at the Limit Price or better.

Yes maybe it's Limit Orders or Stop Limit Orders, but buying or selling another futures... For example, if ES futures price reached 6037 - then buy 10 MES futures on the market. Can this be done in the standard settings of Ninja or will I have to program the robot for such requests?

Hello FOKS_444,

Thank you for the update.

There is no default way to have orders submitted to Instrument B when Instrument A hits a specific price.

You would have to create an automated NinjaScript Strategy as you suggest.

• If you need further help or insight with that, please post in the Indicator Development or Strategy Development sections of the Forum.
• Or, send an email to the ScriptingSupport[AT]NinjaTrader[DOT[com team with the best explanation of what you are trying to do and that you are working on your own strategy and then they will help you from there.
