Can't type in a price.

[8DTK8]

I've been using NT for years and have always relied on point and click order entry.

For the first time I tried to type in a limit price into the Control Center but it would not appear and only the up and down arrows worked to move the price.

Then I tried the basic entry window and again, the limit price would not accept me typing in a number. What made this window worse was that there wasn't even a close to market value in there. It was just blank.

Is there any way to fix this issue?

Many thanks in advance.

Hello 8DTK8,

Unfortunately this is as expected. Please click your scroll wheel in the price field and it will update to the current price. From there you can scroll to the desired price.

Thanks Jason.

I hope I posted to the right place this time.

That seems to be the case with the "orders" tab of the Control Center.

But since that doesn't link to any of the other windows, I would be pulling up the product that I want to trade from a pretty extensive list.

Should the auto filling of the current market price also be happening in the basic order entry window (that does link to the charts that I'm looking at)?

It's currently blank and it takes quite a while to go through all of the tics from zero to the current price in things like the ZB.

Thanks!

PS - is this something that is resolved in V8?

Yes, your post is in the correct place.

It should update the price in the Basic Entry window as well. Please click your scroll wheel in the Limit or Stop fields and it will update to the current price.

Yes, you can type the price in NinjaTrader 8.
