Strategy Order #'s incorrect

[BradB]

NT6 B11 Sim mode, testing a strategy. Strategy buys/sells 10 contracts with profit target of 50 and trailing stop of 5. Strategy triggered as expected, bought 10. Stops were placed correctly, butthe limit order(s) were for only 9 contracts. When stop was hit, only 9 contracts were filled, 1 stop was cancelled leaving me with an open contract with no stop or target anymore.

Orders will be cancelled as a bar closes if the signal is not "confirmed" by your strategy. Likely your strategy did not resend the stop signal as a partial fill comes in which causes NT to cancel out the stop order.

I guess I'm not sure what it means to "confirm" the signal in my strategy.

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

EnterLong, ExitShort etc. need to be called on every bar as long as an entry or exit signal is active. If you don't call these methods on a prticular bar, existing orders, which where palced by these signals, will be cancelled as this bar closes.

This is a very simple strategy I built with the strategy builder, I didn't even unlock the code. Isn't that confirmation done automatically? If not, any strategy built using the wizard would not work.

Hmm .. ok let's try something different.

I suppose you are on NT6B11, no?

Can you please
- send me your trace and log files to "dierk AT ninjatrader DOT com"
- which instrument was this?
- what was the timestamp on when this happened?

Thanks
