What did I do wrong?

[ckait]

Today I had a couple of problems with targets and auto break even and I would like to know if anyone has any input. I entered a 2 contract a short position with a 2pt stop for the entry a 2 pt target for 1 contract and the auto breakeven at 8 ticks. I was using the DOM , my target was hit and on the dom it dissapeared so I thought I was filled then the market reversed a little only i had not been filled. Why did the target order display diasspear on the the super dom if I had not been filled ? Is there a way to set it so it will only dissapear after the order is filled rather than just trading at that price? I would appreciate any input.

Did your NinjaTrader play an "Order filled" soundbite? Or any soundbite? Anything in the logs?

yes it rang the register wich is what led me to think my orders were filled.

another thing, someone else said that if I set the break even to 9 ticks rather than 8 my order would get filled before my stop moves but im still unsure if I need to manuallly cancel my stops or if they will do it automatically. and since now its a three day weekend I cant sim it to find out.
