Chart Trader for Sim101 with Yahoo & IQFeed

[Stopped]

Hello,

I am on NT 7.19 beta version.

Using Yahoo (primary) and IQFeed (secondary) as a connection setup, I have been playing around with Sim trading using the Chart Trader functionality on 60-min charts.


Some of the behaviour however has been rather odd. Here are couple of examples:

• ^DJIA: I placed a Buy Limit order on 28-Jul which should have been filled by now (see screenshots). However, the order has not yet been executed.
• ES 09-10: I placed a Buy Limit order at 1100 on 28-Jul. It was filled. But then the order, already filled, showed up again late yesterday when the contract was lower and filled again at 1097. Now I am Long 2 contracts (unintendedly) at an average of 1098.5 when I should have been Long 1 a 1100.

Thanks,

Stopped

Hello Stopped,

Unfortunately it is not supported to trade index instruments in NinjaTrader.

As per the ES 09-10 order, can you please send me the log file for the date the order was submitted and filled. You can find log files at the following location.

Start Menu--> My Documents--> NinjaTrader 7--> Log--> log.20100730 for today. (log.yyyymmdd for any other date)

Please send it to support[at]ninjatrader[dot]com, put 'Attn Jason' in the subject header and reference this forum thread.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for clarifying the earlier points.

Something I came across later on which is related to this thread: When I use a single connection to IQFeed a couple of orders on ES 09-10 are showing (two stop losses at 1075). However, when I connect to Yahoo! and IQFeed at the same time, using the former as primary and the latter as secondary, then those orders do not show up (see couple of attachments).

I know that the Yahoo! connection does not support futures, but I thought that the software would pick up the secondary IQFeed connection to refresh those orders. In fact, the software is clever enough to stream futures data with this connection setup onto Market Analyzer and Chart windows. I just do not understand why Accepted orders are however not showing under these conditions.

Is this behaviour expected or it is a bug?

Thanks,

Stopped
