Strategy Execution error

[mballagan]

I have a strategy running in simulation trading mode and encountered the execution errors as shown in the attached image below.



The strategy is using explicit order execution using OnExecutionUpdate() and this seemed to be working fine previously. I have switched to automatic stop/profit setting using :


SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Ticks,StopTicks);
SetProfitTarget(CalculationMode.Ticks, ProfitTicks);

However still seem to be encountering an error. Is it worth doing a reinstall of NT8?

Hello mballagan,

Thanks for your post.

We were recently made aware of an erroneous risk template that was added to the platform from a database update, which is likely the cause of the error message that you are receiving. In order to correct this item, you will need to first delete the erroneous risk templates then reset the Sim101 account.

To remove the erroneous risk template;

• Shut down NinjaTrader
• On your PC, navigate to Documents/NinjaTrader 8/templates/Risk
• Delete the risk templates titled '.xml', 'KPO.xml', and 'MES.xml'
• I've included a video demonstration that we've made publicly available at the following link:
  • https://www.screencast.com/t/rxZWiDDDMB

Once you've deleted the erroneous risk templates, please do the following;

• Restart NinjaTrader
• From the NinjaTrader Control Center window select the Accounts tab
• Right click on your simulation account and select 'Edit Account'
• Ensure that 'None' is selected for the 'Risk' property
• Press the "Reset" button
• Select OK

After completing the steps above, you should now be able to place orders in the Sim101 account without error.
