sending orders

[manefaces]

Can this program handle sending multiple orders at once? How does it handle sending 6order files that hit on the same time frame window?

Yes it does using the passthrough OIF format. You only need to send one file with 6 lines representing each order.

Because I am running 31 independent orders, is it posssible to handle all these orders, if they came in at one time. I am not referring to a basket order but all individual orders at once? Thanks

Won't work because if you write the same order.txt file 31 times you will inevitably overwrite some of your orders.

This is THE fundamental concern we have about theuse of NT for serious intra-day automated trading.

If the automated trading interface was extended to provide DLL function calls that would be extremely helpful.

We would like to understand what NT is thinking about this issue and how/when the issue might be addressed in one way or another.
