Attention!

alvin050 · 04-15-2012, 08:49 PM

I am using Ninjatrader wizard to build new strategy, and want my strategy to send orders immediately when I press Enable in the Control Panel, and not wait for incoming tick to activate the strategy. How do I program this condition using the wizard? I use COBC=False and GetCurrentAsk()>GetCurrentBid() as my condition but it still waits for incoming tick to send orders.
Thank you for assistance

alvin050, this would be unfortunately expected when working with your code in OnBarUpdate() - a tick has to be seen to trigger the logic, eventhough you're working with COBC = false. Please also keep in mind your GetCurrentAsk / GetCurrentBid properties only could work in realtime, for historical data they would use the close price.
