I'm using Trade Station to activate a trade. Then Ninja takes over and runs the show. The problem I'm having is with the TIF function. Under my position strategy I have it set up as 3 for 3 minutes, but it never cancels the order. If I want to buy the ER2 at a specific price and I don't get filled in 3 minutes I want the order cancelled. I'm not using a pass through command as you can see below.

FileAppend("c:\program files\ninjatrader 4\AT\order.txt" ,"ER2 12-05,,DAY,BUY,LMT,"+numtostr(Close[0],1)+",,,,,,ER 1 Auto,SIM-101,");

"ER 1 Auto" position strategy has TIF defined as 3.

Hope you can help.

thx

Hi Z,

You have to set the actual order to TIF of 3. Currently you have it set to DAY.

Ah yes, silly me. I guess it overrides how you have it defined.



Thx for your time.
