Simulate all orders

[staycool3_a]

hi,

is there a way to simulate all orders rather than send them to an exchange?

for example:

why xyz happens, enter limit //but I want this limit order to remain in my pc/ninjatrader
when price is hit, ninjatrader then sends a market order

is there a setting for this in ninjatrader?

created logics for all my orders to simulate them all internally within my strategy and submitting markets orders but would be nice to have an option to keep everything on pc.

it's not smart to send orders in the markets for the world to see

Hello staycool3_a,

Yes, you can run a strategy on the built in Sim101 practice account. Orders placed to this account do not leave your local computer.

Right.

I meant - is there a way to keep all live orders for a real account within ninjatrader and only submit market orders when positions are opened/closed. I've got a strategy that has tons of limit orders and stoplosses but I'm wanting to keep them within ninjatrader and only submit them at market once the price is at those levels. I have created a script within the strategy to do this, but i was hopin that there was a more efficient way.

Hello staycool3_a,

Don't place the order until the price is touched. Use logic for this. You don't need sitting orders.
