Two opposite executed orders

[streetffightingman]

Hi,

In ninjatrader, is it possible to have bought 100 shares in spy at 193.00 and at the same time have sold 100 shares of the spy at 192.90

Can these two orders be running at the same time instead of canceling each other out?

I use Interactive brokers and they said it is not possible, but I am wondering
if your program has a work around that is already functioning.

A physical impossibility, albeit a quasi-logical one. You may want to read these threads to know why.

Hello streetffightingman,

If your broker does not support this you will not be able to do it in NinjaTrader

No broker supports it. One can make it look that way by using 2 separate SuperDOMs, hence my statement about a quasi-logical situation. The references that I gave hold the discussion.
