Order Management

[ScoobyStoo]

Hi Guys,

Just want to confirm something. The docs (http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/helpguide.html?Overview36) say...

Methods that generate orders to exit a position will be ignored if a strategy position is open and:

An order submitted by a set method (SetStopLoss() (http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/SetStopLoss.html) for example) is active

How do I generate a partial exit order for a position that has a stop loss order working? The docs suggest that this isn't possible and the partial exit order will be ignored.

Thanks

ScoobyStoo, this is possible if you scale in to scale out later -

Is their any way I can just get NT to process orders without using the Enter/Exit/Set methods? I handle all the order management logic within my strategy.

ScoobyStoo, NinjaTrader 7 (http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/NT7/NinjaTrader7.html) will introduce this concept:
New Unmanaged Order Submission
In 6.5 some users were burdened with our "Internal Order Handling" rules. We have introduced unmanaged order submission which bypasses the convenience of our order handling layer. This lower level of programming allows you to do what you want relative to order submission/management without any limitations other than any imposed by your broker. There are only three methods, SubmitOrder(), ChangeOrder() and CancelOrder(). You then get the flexibility of managing your orders how you see fit and optionally handling rejections.

What's the slated date for a release candidate?

[NinjaTrader_Austin]

There currently isn't a date for release yet. We will continue to release closed betas (currently at beta 6) to certain testing groups before we have a public beta release. This closed beta period has traditionally been a few months long. Thank you for understanding.

OK, thanks for letting me know Austin.

Good luck with the development work.
