Get rid of "Stop Price can't be changed" error

[UltraNIX]

Hey, how can I get rid of "stop price can't be changed" error message popup? Code handles situation as expected, it adjusts stop correctly, it closes out position correctly, but it still gives this error and it's annoying. What are the steps to have this message "disabled", so I won't have to go and click OK everytime?

Hello UltraNIX,

Thanks for your post.

We are currently tracking interest in the ability to disable error pop-up messages throughout the NinjaTrader platform and have added your vote.

This request is being tracked under the number SFT-671.

As with all feature requests, interest is tracked before implementation is considered, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment. If implemented, it will be noted in the Release Notes page of the Help Guide.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

if you had a code example, that would "solve" the issue and prevent error from appearing, that would be even better.

Hello UltraNIX,

Thanks for your note.

We do not have any supported methods or properties that we could suggest for preventing error messages from appearing. This would require you to use unsupported code which goes beyond the support we would be able to provide.

That said, this forum thread will be open for other community members to share their insights on unsupported code that might accomplish this.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Remember that popup error messages are there for a reason, so if they are "bypassed", it must be in full knowledge of their importance and with deliberate mitigating actions, even if that "action" is deliberately to ignore, and understanding the consequences of the actions.

Thanks.

Haven't found any solution in the thread you suggested, could you be more specific?

As for error message, the coder I work with said that it's because of a split second between code firing and order update actually happening, price changes and it results in an error. And I can confirm, orders are executed as expected, no open and unprotected positions are left in the market. so the error is annoying by all means. even if it doesn't break the strategy and let it resume, clicking OK each and every time, with multiple trades a day becomes unsatisfactory. this has to stop.

UltraNIX As mentioned, the last link in the list was the most useful for me. If you read down to the post by -=Edge=- you'll see what works for him. That is one way to go, noting all the caveats that are mentioned here and there.

Perhaps more importantly, if you are seeing many of the errors you describe, modifying your code to reduce/avoid them would be a better option. We know price can change, so if the Orders submitted are frequently on the "wrong" side of price within a "split second" of being submitted, that probably means a more "practical" pricing algorithm for the Orders would be appropriate.

Thanks.
