Triggering OCO or ATM orders from TradeStation

[drmartell]

Looking at the NT functions for TradeStation, I don't see a way to send accompanying stop and limit orders as OCO.

Is there a way?

Or is there a way to have TradeStation trigger the currently selected ATM strategy on a DOM?

What I am trying to accomplish is just to have TradeStation assess my indicators at bar close more quickly than I can and trigger my ATM Strategy long or short.

Please use NTCommand(). http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...Functions.html

Then you want to look at this page: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...mandParameters

I've got this working:

Success = NTBuyMarket("MyOrderId", numcontracts);


I can't identify why this is not leading to order generation:

Success=NTCommand("PLACE",Account,"SELL",1,"MARKET ",0,0,"GTC","","","TestATM",numtostr(random(10000) ,0));

The strategy in question is correctly named TestATM on my DOM. Does the contract need to be specified somewhere on the TradeStation side?

Have you received any errors in your Log tab when you used it?

Maybe this is your error: "MARKET " <-extra space

Thanks Josh, I don't know why it appears as though there was an extra space there, in fact there isn't.

My errors tab is showing me something like this at the close of every bar:

"AT, 'PLACE;Sim101;ESZ08;SELL;1;MARKET;0;0;GTC;;;TestAT M;8810' processing"

Is the symbol the problem?

[drmartell]

I don't see Tradestation listed in the Symbol map grid for ES in the Instrument Manager, is there a way to add it, or is that even the issue?

drmartell,

I will get back to you on this after I confirm some things.

drmartell,

Please see if this link resolves the issues for you: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...nSymbolMapping

Thanks Josh,

I was able to follow the continuous contract mapping example here: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...sitionStrategy and it is working now.
