Listen to an audio presentation here.

The quotes and positions section of NT displays  quote information, current position,order flow information, current Strategy and various option checkboxes.

The position row is displayed in black background. If a position is open, STOP, TARGET, ENTRY, POS (position) and TARGET 2 information will be displayed in white text. The ENTRY cell reflects the 'average' fill price and updates if you manually scale into a larger position during the trade.

P/L is the profit and loss display for the current position. A negative position will be displayed in RED text, even position in BLUE and a positive position in GREEN.

The strategy drop down list will allow you to change trade strategies.

$ Checkbox - When checked,  P/L will display $ instead of pts
OT Checkbox - When checked, main window and optional SuperDOM window will remain on top of other applications
AT Checkbox - When checked, enables Automated Trading

SS Checkbox - When checked, enables Simulated Stops

Under 'SETTINGS', there is an option to 'Invert Position columns'. This feature changes the order in which the STOP and TARGET columns will be displayed. When this option is checked, the STOP cell will be directly over the  ASK cell when in a short position. It will be directly over the BID cell when in a long position.

Pending order information for entry orders are also displayed in the Quotes and Position section.

The P&L display changes to Order Status and the position display changes to show you the current order details.

You can change the STOP and TARGET cells from display the price to the distance away from the price. To accomplish this, click on the STOP and/or TARGET labels. The distance values will be displayed in yellow.

Occasionally, TWS will report bad entry fill prices to NinjaTrader. This happens more often with the Dow Eminis (YM) and the ESTX50. NinjaTrader attempts to request the correct execution information but sometimes its not provided immediately. You can manually adjust the Entry price by clicking on the ENTRY label. The following dialogue box will appear.
