Pop-up Error messages can't be disabled

[jeronymite]

junkone Whilst this issue cannot be "fixed" programmatically, it can be "worked around". See here for more information: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...25#post1198625

Also, it is very important to stress that error popups occur for a reason, and they should be well understood before any process to dismiss or "avoid" them is implemented. In the Strategy Analyzer, there may be good reason to "disable" them during backtests/optimizations, but if they happen there, be very careful when going to real-time. Popups may be annoying at times, but they signal something important, so do not disregard them, even if they are "hidden".

Thanks.

pl add my vote. this is actually the most annoying one in NT as i cannot fix it programatically. during replay. my suggestion would be to add a flag to turn off new popups like this during the session. this way, we can manage it for replay sessions while keeping it for other situations when this error adds value.

Crossed many post from 2016 until now about wanting a feature to disable pop up errors as some traders use strategies and can get 50-100 pop up errors in few seconds leading for NT to freeze or close...Please add my vote...There are plenty of users wanting this feature to be ignored...At least have a feature for the errors to go into log rather than pop up to lessen computer usage.

Actually in a couple of my strategies I have specified to ignore all errors and I still get pop ups... I need to check but possibly only when live until cancelled is enabled. These are specific setups using TD Ameritrade and the pop ups are not always things I can account for (Unlike things like risk settings or other errors I have no idea if shares to short are not available until the message is returned). So in this case its not exactly something I can fix and its not something I need pop up messages for.

I guess a better description for this feature would be "Display all error pop up's as log entries."

Or even having a maximum number of pop up's at a time before a warning pop up comes up and it doesn't display any more... The real issue isn't one or two pop ups... Its hundreds or thousands during a session.

BTW Speaking of risk settings... When I go and select "None" for risk template under the account it saves but tells me I need to reboot NT... Then if I reboot NT, it goes back to default and none is no longer selected.

Even with the popups, your strategy will continue to run if you set RealTimeErrorHandling to IgnoreAllErrors. But be careful as those errors do tell you something went wrong with your order. In my case, I went through my strategy logs and made sure I handled the all possible error conditions to make sure I gracefully exited my position. The errors are caused by enter and exits calls such as the the stop and stop limit calls. The MIT and market position calls never raise the error popups as NT8 will always allow you to get into position without any conditions, except for MIT where the price must first be touched. Anyway, I think NT should allow disabling the error popups as an option for those who are experienced using the managed order calls. It's kinda of crummy that they do not, but I suspect it is a liability and legal issue and they don't want any exposure.
