Hi-

I'm currently using ninja with Esignal simulation feed.

I'm testing some overnight positions in the ES and would like to keep a running tally of the positions P/L

Is there a way to set up a dom where I can leave an ES mini position on overnight or even a few days and it will continue to show its P/L on the following day?

Currently when I leave an es position on and I shut down Ninja Trader and my computer (like I do every night) The next morning the position is gone.

Thanks for help

Hi,

This can not be done since the broker resets their servers every day after the market close.

If you have an open position without a strategy, you need to add a limit and stop order to protectthe position.

- Set strategy to <none>
- right click in the DOM and enable OCO order
- Then place a limit order where you want to exit at a profit
- Then place a stop order where you want to exit at a loss
- Then right click again and disable OCO order
