opening orders

[pablobentancor]

Hello guys!

I'm new to ninjascript and I have a problem that might seem basic to most people here, but I read the documentation and tried everything I could but wasn't able to figure this out.

I want to open an order and already tried with managed and unmanaged approach.
The orders are sent, I got a fill confirmation on the OnExecution event but the orders are not being opened in the platform...

This is a simulation account from optimusfutures.com using Rithmic.

Here's the code and the logs from the OnExecution event

managed

entryOrder = EnterLong(1, "Enter Long" + DateTime.Now.Second.ToString() + DateTime.Now.Millisecond.ToString());


log from the OnExecution event

Execution='NT-00000' Instrument='ES 06-12' Account='Sim101' Name='Enter Long9282' Exchange=Default Price=1374,5 Quantity=1 Market position=Long Commission=0 Order='NT-00000' Time='09/04/2012 08:31:40 p.m.'

Execution='NT-00001' Instrument='ES 06-12' Account='Sim101' Name='Exit on close' Exchange=Default Price=1356,75 Quantity=1 Market position=Short Commission=0 Order='NT-00001' Time='10/04/2012 08:15:00 p.m.'

-------------------------------------------------------------

unmanaged

entryOrder = SubmitOrder(0, OrderAction.Buy, OrderType.Market, 1, 0, 0, "", "Enter Long"+ DateTime.Now.Second .ToString() + DateTime.Now.Millisecond.ToString() );

log from the OnExecution event
Execution='NT-00000' Instrument='ES 06-12' Account='Sim101' Name='Enter Long35512' Exchange=Default Price=1374,5 Quantity=1 Market position=Long Commission=0 Order='NT-00000' Time='09/04/2012 08:31:40 p.m.'

Execution='NT-00001' Instrument='ES 06-12' Account='Sim101' Name='Exit on close' Exchange=Default Price=1356,75 Quantity=1 Market position=Short Commission=0 Order='NT-00001' Time='10/04/2012 08:15:00 p.m.'


Any help is really appreciated. Thanks!

Hello pablobentancor,
Welcome to the forum and I am happy to assist you.

You are submitting the orders in the Simulator account (Sim101). To send the order to your borkers account please make sure you have live license key and you have selected your brokers account name in the Strategy parameters.

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply.

All I have is the simulated account, that's the only account shown in the accounts tab, and the only one available in the strategy parameters.

However, shouldn't I be able to see my trades sent to this sim account?
I mean in the platform as if I submitted them manually....

Thanks again for helping me.

Hello pablobentancor,
You can find all the orders in the Orders tab in Control Center http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...orders_tab.htm
You can find all the executed trades in the Execution tab in Control Center http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...utions_tab.htm

You can also see the trades on the chart, depending on how you have set the Plot executions property. Please refer to this YouTube video which demonstrates it http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...utions_tab.htm

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.

Thank you.

Yes, I'm familiar with the orders and executions tabs but the orders are not shown there. Only the ones I submit manually from the platform are displayed there, but not the ones sent through ninjascript. Is that normal?

Hello pablobentancor,
Are the orders results from a backtest? If so then they will not show up in Control Center.

Also I could see the trades are for previous dates.

Execution='NT-00000' Instrument='ES 06-12' Account='Sim101' Name='Enter Long35512' Exchange=Default Price=1374,5 Quantity=1 Market position=Long Commission=0 Order='NT-00000' Time='09/04/2012 08:31:40 p.m.'

Execution='NT-00001' Instrument='ES 06-12' Account='Sim101' Name='Exit on close' Exchange=Default Price=1356,75 Quantity=1 Market position=Short Commission=0 Order='NT-00001' Time='10/04/2012 08:15:00 p.m.'

The Order/Execution tab displays the orders/trades for the current day only.

You can find the historical trades (not backtest trades) from the Account Performance tab in the Control Center.
