Ninja Traders 8 - Problems with Order Handling

[NinjaTrader_PatrickH]

Hello ajsdnyyrr1234DDf,

Thank you for your response.

This is a known item that has been reported to FOREX.com. Currently this is expected on their end as two orders cannot act on the same position at the same time. They have let our development team know they are looking into this to attempt to prevent this error.

In your case you would look into waiting for a position to exit first and then submit an entry when the exit fills. So instead of the Enter method to close the current position and open the new position consider using an Exit method with a specific signal name that you can check for as filled in OnExecutionUpdate() and then submit the entry for the new position.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks. I implemented the suggestion. I am using Managed Orders so I am not calling any of the Order Objects to check the Order Status. Instead, I am checking MarketPosition to see if it is flat before placing the new entry order. I am adding a 5-second delay timer from the Exit Call to the Entry Call.

Now the problem I am running into is, the timer is not getting executed for backtests. Is this expected?

See below the code:


private void GoLong()
{
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short)
{
System.Windows.Forms.Timer timer = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer {Interval = 5000};
timer.Tick += delegate
{
Print("Timer finished GoLong: " + Time[0].ToString());
timer.Stop();
Print("Check for Market Position inside GoLong: " + Time[0].ToString());
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)
EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(Quantity), @"LongHACEU");
timer.Dispose();
};
Print("Calling Exit inside GoLong: " + Time[0].ToString());
ExitShort(@"ShortHACEU");
Print("Starting Timer inside GoLong: " + Time[0].ToString());
timer.Start();
}
else
EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(Quantity), @"LongHACEU");
}

See below the output from backtest run:

Hello ajsdnyyrr1234DDf,

Thank you for your response.

Timers will not run in backtesting. You would not need to use a delay for your backtesting for these orders either.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
