I am trying to use Ad Hoc instruments - by that I mean the ability to type in the name of an instrument and then start trading it.
I am using a scanner to find opportunities - but just Nasdaq stocks. When I see something interesting, I go over to Ninja and key in the symbol name. All fine so far, the chart appears fairly quickly and with the symbol links, all my other bits & pieces work too.
What doesn't appear to work often is the actual placing of a trade.
Today I got the following message (ignore the size, I did this one to grab the image):
This seems a bit unrealistic to me and most stock traders that trade earnings/news. The fact is I don't know what news will come out, nor do I know which stocks will move on a day so I can't set them up in advance.
Is there a way to get around this or auto-populate the relevant data in Ninja?
This is Ninja 7r2, IB & Kinetick
Thanks
Pete
