How I can get the orders ID of my limit orders on Ninja Trader 8?

[aldorobert2025]

Hello Traders:

I am using NtDirect.dll and the Orders Function closes my C# program?

I connect to NT with function:

connected = Connected(1);


I try to retrieve Orders ID with this function but my program closes....

I have 2 limit order on NT but this function doesn't work....

string List_Orders_NT = Orders("Sim101");

What I am doing wrong or this is not the approach to get the info I need it?

thanks in advance

Hello Robert,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

Support for external applications is limited. Below is a link to a forum post that includes a few starter examples.

The Orders method is the correct method.

Do you have the correct location for the file in the PImport?
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("C:\\Wind ows\\SysWOW64\\NtDirect.dll")]
public static extern int Connected(int showMessage);

If the project is a C# application, it might be easier to use the NinjaTrader.Client.dll approach.

If the application crashes in debug mode in Visual Studio, there should be information about the crash in the Errors window or Output window.

You can also use a try and catch to output the exception information to the Console output and prevent the application from crashing.
