OANDA TIF = GTC Rejected

[reubenlasky]

What is the status for the support of GTC from Oanda? Anybody? I really don't want to trade with FOREX.com for obvious reasons.

Oanda GTC orders have been available for roughly a year or more. I believe they migrated all NinjaTrader accounts to their v20 servers but don't quote me on that. Either way, the functionality is there and works great.

CDXTrader, I re-checked the current OANDA connection guide, GTC orders are still not supported. I remembered I tried that a few months ago, it got rejected immediately. And because it was an OCO for profit target and stoploss, for a few hours until I woke up, the live trade was on without any stops.

Can someone from NT respond? Please?

There have been no changes from NinjaTrader's Development Team to implement GTC for use with Oanda. With that said, the Oanda API documentation notes that GTC orders should now be supported. We recommend trying to submit a GTC order once again as we believe it should now work.

If you confirm that GTC orders are now supported, we will look into updating our disclaimer. If it does not work, please send me your log and trace files so that I may investigate further:

• You can do this by going to the Control Center-> Help-> Email Support
• Ensuring 'Log and Trace Files' is checked will include these files. This is checked by default.
• Please reference the following ticket number in the body of the email: 1986298 ATTN Patrick G

Thanks Patrick, will give it a try this week.

I used the Chart trader and changed the TIF setting to GTC, then I did a stop order with OANDA and it got accepted. That is a good sign. Let me run a strategy to be sure. Thank you.

I ran an autotrade strategy with OANDA from market open to market close and I am happy to report that the GTC works well. Thank you, @NT_PatrickG.
