Dear Santa,

I have been very good this year. Could you please ask NT if they could build some strategies that mirror the types of trades available on the superdome. Trailing stops and scaleouts, ect.

Automated trading examples of these along the others currently provided would be nice.

As always, the milk and cookies will be by the fireplace.

rt6176, Good one!

Ray, A lot of posts that I read, and I try to read them all, have issues with Order Management. I have yet to get the correct sequencing for onBar, onOrder ... that will not leave orders open or positions unprotected. I believe that there are only 4 major ways of trading 1) All In All Out, 2) Scale In All Out, 3) All In Scale Out 4) Scale In Scale Out. Within each catagory you have stops and targets. Personally I would find it very helpful to have an Order Management Template for each or at least #1, and #4. Until I can get comfortable with knowing that the OM part of a strategy is working properly there is not much incentive to purchase a LifeTime license for me. So would you give it some serious consideration. Please. I would be more than happy to help in any way. Right now I feel like I am searching for minnows in a vast ocean. As far as indicator development, well I have become well versed on that part. Its the ^&% #*^* Order Management that has me blocked. I have included a template that I have been working with to give you a better understanding.

Variables
{
private int stopLoss = 8; // in ticks
private int profitTarget = 8; // in ticks
private in t barsTillCancel= 5;
private bool enterBuy = false;
private bool enterSell = false;
}

Initialize
{
blah
blah
stuff
stuff
}

onBarUpdate
{
if (Users code to signal Buy Entry) enterBuy = true;
else;
enterBuy = false;

if (Users code to signal SellEntry) enterSell = true;
else;
enterSell = false;

//*******************************
// Template handles all Order Management from Here Down
//*******************************

if (barsTillCancel ) Cancel Order;

if(position Flat && enterBuy == true)
{
NT Staff code doing it the right way
}
if(position Flat && enterSell == true)
{
NT Staff code doing it the right way
}

}
