my stop is not executed with the command "place"

[ghtais]

hi all,

I have a external application that use dll to place order in ninja.
I calculate a stop loss in this application and want to execute order with this stop loss.
I defined a variable "Stop" as double.
My code is :

Command("PLACE", "Sim101", "CL 10-15", action, 1, "MARKET", 0, Stop, "GTC", "", "1", "", "");

It works for the order but without the stop.
I don't understand what I 'am doing wrong ?

Thank you for your help

Hello ghtais,

Thank you for writing in. Please remember, in your current code you are submitting a market order so your stop will be ignored. Please change "MARKET" to "STOP" and the issue should be resolved.

Please let me know if you have any questions or if I may be of further assistance.

thanks you for your answer.
but if I do that my order dosen't appear in Ninja
Perhaps you mean that I have to write too lines in my code
First one with "PLACE" command and secondly an other one with "STOP" ?

Hello ghtais,

Please see the following:

Command("PLACE", "Sim101", "CL 10-15", action, 1, "STOP", 0, Stop, "GTC", "", "1", "", "");

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

thanks you for your answer and to be so patient with me.
I apologize because I'am not fluent in english and it's difficult to explain the problem.

Let me explain again with an exemple :

My external application decides to initiate a buy at 46.23 on Crude for example.
the code for that is :

Command("PLACE", "Sim101", "CL 10-15", action, 1, "MARKET", 0, 0, "GTC", "", "1", "", "");

In this case "Action" is string with the value "BUY".
This works fine, but in the same time I want to Add a stop at 46.15 if the market go back.

And This is my problem, Ninja doesn't want to put the stop even with the code that you give me.
