Hey guys I'm currently trading the M6E and am having some issues with liquidity. The depth is usually pretty decent, but there is just not much volume traded. I am looking to create a Market If Touched tool (if bid/ask touch, not price) and was wondering if anyone has any tools similar to this that I can take a look at for some ideas. Appreciate the help.

@Xav1029

You might try the auto chase. See here: NinjaTrader Version 7

Never used it but it seems to be similar to market if touched.

Thanks Robert. I think this will do for now, because it actually runs off ask/bid

If you are interested in MIT strategy wise @traderwerks wrote some Market If Touched code on his blog some time ago:

Thanks @gregid but I was looking to do it as an indicator, not strategy. I've never really used chart control functions and need to figure out the best way I can manually move the entry price. I'm thinking having the indicator plot a horizontal line that I can manually move.

I know most of the code I would need to write, just feel iffy about accessing chart control for orders and being able to move a line around for entry price.

In Sierra Chart you can plot these two little lines for bid/ask so you can see which way price is leaning. It's a nice feature even on liquid markets. .

I can't, but maybe someone can do something like that for you.

Did you get anywhere with this? I am also looking to place a MIT order that is triggered only when bid/ask touch.

I'm assuming this would enter you in faster than a limit order and reduce slippage that would normally be incurred using a MIT order that is triggered when price touches.

Thanks,

Erfan.

@nourozi I never did code this. It is possible, but would take some work to make it user friendly.
