I am a very experienced user of the eSignal scripting language and JavaScript having taught myself the in and outs by writing my own trading strategy and an automated interface to TradeMaven. Unfortuanately TradeMaven was a very poor choice on my part and I now want to change to NinjaTrader. I have reviewed the documentation and have not been able to put together all the pieces needed from the information.
My goal it to be able to do the following:
1. Send a Limit order to NT for 'x' number of contracts at a specific price and let NT manage all the trade functions (brackets, etc.).
2. Capture Information on the order that NT is managing to decide if I want to send a command to cancel an unfilled order, or the unfilled portion of a partially filled order, or to know when a trade has won or lost.
In other words, I'm trying to accomplish what your site states in the ATI sectionas: "You can optionally harness the power of NinjaTrader’s advanced order and position management capabilities…".
Pretty simple stuff, and the components seem to be available in NT from the documentation, but I can't find any organized info that says, Activate 'x' functions in NT, or read an order status filenamed 'z' located in the 'y' directory, and the format of the order information in the file is such-and-such, etc.
Can you shed a little light on additional documentation resources that provide a comprehensive explanation of the NT functions and ATI?
Thanks,
Warren
