    Problems placing order

    I am using Ninja trader to trade through the brokerage Mb Trading. My program is occasionally entering trades that are being rejected, and not entering many more than should have occurred according to back tested results. My connections are fine and I'm pretty sure about my default order quantity. I am running the strategy off the chart and in the control center the strategy appears green and running. I will post my main segment of code below, can anyone think of any problems that may be causing this or identify any problems in my main segment of code, more specifically especially with order entry or something?

    JamesF, I suggest you work with TraceOrders to debug the order results you get - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...aceOrders.html

        Hi, some entry order are getting ignored because of your current EntryHandling settings - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...yHandling.html

        Further to your code, I'm not sure why are you are adding two times the 90 min bars object.

        Best would be run this with TraceOrder until you're getting a rejected order as you wrote in your first post, then check for the reason in the outputs.

          Hi, JamesF

          Did you manage to resolve this problem?

          I had something similar happen today with NT connected to MB Trading. I'm sure there is a simple answer, and I have only just started looked into it, but it would be helpful to learn what you discovered.

          Many thanks for any assistance.

              Hi, Bertrand

              Thanks for your note.

              I am already getting some help from NinjaTrader_Ryan (and MB Trading) for this...

              Here below is the dialogue so far (and I'll post the resolution when I get there!).

              ==== my note to support ====

              Dear Support

              I had an order rejected this morning and I don't understand the reason.

              Can you help me with this?

              Trace file attached.

              Thanks
              Ben


              ==== Support's response ====
              Hello Ben,

              Thank you for your note.

              So you entered the market:

              2009-11-19 09:30:38:109 (MBTrading) Cbi.OrderStatusEventArgs.Process: Order='1dj3t01:02ga/********' Name='Buy' New State=Filled Instrument='...' Action=Buy Limit price=0 Stop price=0 Quantity=... Type=Market Filled=... Fill price=..,.. Error=NoError Native error=''

              The next accepted order was the stop loss:

              2009-11-19 09:30:38:390 (MBTrading) Cbi.Connection.ProcessEventArgs.OrderStatusEventAr gs: Order='1dj3t01:02h2/*******' Name='Stop loss' New State=Accepted Instrument='...' Action=Sell Limit price=0 Stop price=..,.. Quantity=... Type=Stop Filled=0 Fill price=0 Error=NoError Native error=''

              But then the profit target was rejected:

              2009-11-19 09:30:38:406 (MBTrading) Cbi.Connection.ProcessEventArgs.OrderStatusEventAr gs: Order='1dj3t01:02h3/*******' Name='Profit target' New State=Rejected Instrument='...' Action=Sell Limit price=...,... Stop price=0 Quantity=... Type=Limit Filled=0 Fill price=0 Error=OrderRejected Native error=' Order rejected for reason: Pending live orders'

              Which had the effect of cancelling your stop loss order since the orders were OCO:

              2009-11-19 09:30:40:296 (MBTrading) Cbi.Connection.ProcessEventArgs.OrderStatusEventAr gs: Order='1dj3t01:02h2/*******' Name='Stop loss' New State=Cancelled Instrument='...' Action=Sell Limit price=0 Stop price=..,.. Quantity=... Type=Stop Filled=0 Fill price=0 Error=NoError Native error=''

              However, even though I see the process, I can not say why the profit target order was rejected, but based on the error it would seem that your entry order had not been fully filled. You will want to contact MB Trading for clarification on why it that order was specifically cancelled by the broker.

              Sincerely,
              Ryan

                      Hi,
                      I have had a quick and full response from the MB Trading support people
                      (their support folks are great, just like NT’s...).

                      In a nutshell, I am told MBT Navigator doesn’t support a bracketed set of entry/profit target/stop loss OCO orders. Two orders can be bracketed together, but not three.


                      Here’s the sequence of what happened, and then MB Trading’s response:
                      = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =


                      I entered the market.

                      The next accepted order was the stop loss:

                      The profit target order was submitted by NT at exactly the same time. As MBT Navigator apparently won’t accept two orders bracketed together which arrive at the same time, MBT Navigator rejected the profit target order …

                      As MBT Navigator rejected the profit target order, NT cancelled the stop loss order (since the orders were OCO):

                      Fortunately, the sequence of events also resulted in the open position being closed ... I realise that I don't yet understand why that happened, so I'll have to chase that up tomorrow ... any idea?



                      Here is MB Trading’s response:
                      *********
                      Thank you for your detailed e-mail. After reviewing the sequence of events I do see an issue with the way you are sending us orders. The closest order type to meet your strategy that we offer is a TTO ( threshold trigger order ) where you may bracket your position with a stop loss and take target profit, and yes one would cancel the other which ever trigger is reached first would subsequently cancel your other trigger price. Unfortunately per your desired strategy we do not currently support this type of order that works with bracketing a limit with a stop. This explains your order in X to sell N shares with a stop at ..,.. & limit @..,.. .

                      **********

                      Where does this leave me?

                      Before tomorrow’s session wherever I have my SetStopLoss(string fromEntrySignal, CalculationMode mode,double value,bool simulated) command, I will set simulated to “true”, so that only the profit target order is sent initially …

                      Does this seem sensible?

                      I am aware that simulated stops won’t function as required if my computer/internet connection/powerline fails, but I am not too agitated by this as – even though I am autotrading – I am always beside my trading computer during the core session and audio alerts (from NT, or from my UPS) will let me know if there is a problem, which I can deal with by calling the broker directly if needs be.

                        Hi Ben, do you have a ticket number under which I could take a look at the full trace and logs you sent in? Setting the stop to simulated should prevent this rejection, but I'm not sure why you saw this happening, so reviewing the logs would be beneficial, thanks
