Transitioning of a historical order to a live order

[akuntysh]

Hello,

I am facing the following problem:

1. The strategy is developed in Unmanaged approach and uses pending entry and exit orders
2. While running through Historical Fill process, the strategy sets pending orders and manages them according to internal rules
3. But then even before "On starting a real-time strategy" happens, the strategy crashes sometimes with "has been disabled because it attempted to modify a historical order that has transitioned to a live order" error.

I am performing the transitioning of historical orders to real-time orders as stated in Help Guide:

"...
else if (State == State.Realtime){
...
if (order != null) order = GetRealtimeOrder(order);
...
}
..."

However, this block should not even run since the strategy crashes in the middle of Historical Fill process without even reaching "On starting a real-time strategy" point.

Is there anything I am missing with the transitioning process?

Best regards,
Alexei

Hello akuntysh,

Thank you for your note.

This error is received when an Order object is assigned historically and then gets modified with Realtime data when that live order has different ID's. In NinjaTrader 8, we will have to transition Order objects when the state reaches State.Realtime so their order ID's can be updated from backtest generated ID's to account generated ID's. The SampleOnOrderUpdate strategy demonstrates how this can be done.
