Are orders active after NT8 platform is closed?

[yeungt2]

If I close my platform with pending orders, will they get cancelled out or still get executed as they are at the exchange already?

Thanks.

Hello yeungt2,

Thank you for your post,

Yes, live pending orders exist outside of your PC depending on the order state, so will fill while NinjaTrader is closed.

Simulated orders are locally-stored so need NinjaTrader open and connected to function as expected.

Please see the below link of our help guide for more on order states.

Also, please see the below forum post for more on Where Your Orders Reside.

Note: setting of NinjaTrader that modify orders such as Trailing Stops or Breakeven strategies do need NinjaTrader open and connected to function.

In a situations where you are not able to manage the orders, the best practice would be to give your broker's Trade or Order Desk a call.

Let me know if I may assist further.
