problems with limit orders

[Parmenides48]

Hello,
I run an automated strategy in mCL , no problems in backtest but in real time in sim account , the Limit orders for entries donīt run.
In my Limit order for entries, I enter with 3 contracts , but I canīt summit any order, there are error messages. See picture attached.
In the setup of my sim account I set the max num of contracts to=20. It should be enough to enter with only 3 contracts.
Why I canīt ??

Hello Parmenides48,

Thanks for your post.

Please right-click on the Sim101 account on the Accounts tab of the Control Center > select 'Edit Account' > Increase the 'Max Position Size' setting or set it to zero > click OK.

The Sim101 Account: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...01_account.htm

Note to modify the Sim101 account, you will need to enable the Multi-provider option if you do not have it enabled already. The 'Multi-provider' option could be enabled by going to Tools > Options > General tab > checking the 'Multi-provider checkbox > and click OK. After enabling Multi-provider you will need to restart NinjaTrader.

Enabling/Disabling Multi-provider option: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...multi-provider

Then, test to see if the behavior persists.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

I did it, setting max order size and max position size to 20 contracts., but the problem remains.
In my strategy I enter 3 contracts with limit order.
If there is an opposite signal, I want to reverse position with 3 contracts , with a limit order again.
If there is a position with partial fill, for example, 2 contracts ( not the 3 that I want), and I want to reverse position, I understand that NinjaTrader closes first this 2 contracts, and reverse with 3 contracts with the new Limit order in the reverse action.
Is it correct ??
If is it correct and my max position size is big enough (20 contracts), why there is a message that I exceeds the max position quantity as you can see in the picture of the email above???

I have the latest version of NT8.

I will follow your instructions

[Parmenides48]

I reset the Max Position Size =0 in the Sim101 account, and when I go again to the NinjaScripteditor happens the same !!!!!

[Parmenides48]

And if I go to a chart and try to insert a strategy, in the list of all srtategies only appear very few, and the rest of strategies ( more than 50-60...)donīt appear as available !!

[Parmenides48]

I tried to do a backup, and appear an error message saying that I canīt because ALL my NinjaScript files are not in a compilable state !!!

Hello Parmenides48,

Thanks for your notes.

Changing the Max Position Size of the Sim101 account does not resolve compile errors.

This was mentioned so that you could resolve the error message you initially reported.

In regard to the compile error, please reference the reply in the other forum thread you have open about the compile error message you posted. Direct any further questions about the compile error to that forum thread, not this one.
