ATM orders disappear after market closed

[hronnie]

Hi,

When I open a position and I apply ATM orders (stop loss and take profit) they are cancelled when the market is closed. I can understand that but I don't understand that why the system cancelled it forever and doesn't recreate it when the market is open again.
Is there a solution for this at all?, this is very annoying because I'm in the European timezone and it's midnight when the futures market opens. I know that I could write a ninjascript for that but for this I don't want to hire a virtual server.

Many thanks in advance!

Hello hronnie,

Thank you for the message.

ATM Strategies aren't just canceled at the end of the session unless the Order's TIF setting dictates.


When you are placing these orders, what are you setting the TIF (Time In Force) to?

• If you are setting it to "Day" then that is why, this order automatically gets canceled at the end of the day.

If you want the order to remain overnight, you'd want to use the GTC (Good Till Canceled) or GTD (Good Till Date) TIF's instead.

• Then, these orders would continue through the session.

If you are submitting these orders with GTD or GTC and they are still being canceled at the end of the day, lease use the following steps to send your log and trace files to the support team directly from your NinjaTrader Platform so we may investigate this behavior further:

• Within NinjaTrader, go to the Control Center > Help > Email Support...
• To: Set this to "Platform Technical Support"
• Subject: Copy and paste the Forum URL
• Attach: Attach a file, picture, or compressed file to share multiple files/pictures
• Body: Include any other information you would like to share on the situation
• Make sure 'Log and Trace files' is checked to include the requested files
  • Send the email

Please let us know if we may provide any further assistance.

Hello Clayton,

Thanks for your quick answer. That's exactly what I needed! I set it to Day apparently.

Is there any way to add stop loss after setting 'Day'?
Thanks

Hello trader_aaa,

Thank you for the message.

The TIF setting would be selected before you place an order. It cannot be changed once the order is submitted. You would have to Cancel the order and re-submit it with your desired TIF.

So, once you're TIF is selected, then you move to selecting the ATM Strategy you want to use and then place the order.
