ATM no longer works with GER30 on FXCM

[simonkloot]

As of this morning, the ATM Strategy no longer works with the Dax CFD (@GER30) on FXCM.

Please see the attached strategy parameters. I have been using these params for a long time (with different order quantities) and suddenly it is placing the stoploss with 2 points of the current price.



Also, on the 2nd attachment, you can see how close stoploss and target have been placed to current price and the P&L is wrong too.



This is obviously a change in how decimals are handled, but I don't see why it should change overnight!

I am using version 8.0.0.11

It gets weirder!

Got this error message when trying to place a trade on GER30 using the same ATM in Sim:

Hello simonkloot,

Thank you for your post.

The instrument and ATM strategy appear correct, but seem to be placing the orders closer. Please go to Tools > Database > and Update Instruments. Restart NinjaTrader 8 and try again on the Sim101 account.

Hi Patrick,

I did as you suggested, but I don't even get as far as placing a stop and limit now, as I get the error mentioned earlier.

Sim101, Order '1602663da3da436c8cd56601e5e8d43d' can't be submitted. The OCO ID '1602663da3da436c8cd56601e5e8d43d' cannot be reused. Please use a new OCO ID. affected Order: Sell 22 Limit @ 9719.75

I can get this to occur consistently now.

So it seems that NT is generating duplicate order IDs for Dax. For EURUSD it's fine.

Hello simonkloot,

Thank you for your response.

The message is from a manually placed order with an ATM Strategy attached, correct? There is no NinjaScript strategy involved?

Correct. A very simple strategy with one stop and target.

I'd just like to add that without being able to trade the DAX (GER30), the software is unusable for me at present.

I am happy to help you guys see the problem in realtime if you want to arrange a Skype call.
