Sorry for the simple question, but I can't find the concrete answer off-hand.
I am looking to reverse a position in one bar using the built in NT7 functions. I can do this unmanaged trading but don't have time to setup LOM right now. I am hoping someone can spell this out as it is not straight forward without causing an over-fill or exiting on one bar and the entering on the next bar.
What I would like to do for example is to go from one contract Long to one contract Short with market orders.
So during one bar, I have entered long with: EnterLong();
So now I am Long and want to reverse the position so I tried the obvious with simply triggering: EnterShort();
Unfortunately, this seem to only Sell 1 contract leaving me flat, similar to "ExitLong()" would have done. Do I need to EnterShort(2);
I am pretty short, I get an error if in the same bar I call both Exit and Enter: ExitLong(); EnterShort();
Thanks, hopefully @Fat Tails has a quick answer here.... I have certainly lost touch with the build in nuanced of NT7 Order Management...
If you equate "right" to "NinjaTrader submitting an Entry, Exit, and another Entry order, all on the same bar series" then I believe @NinjaTrader Ray will confirm that is not possible. But hey I could be wrong, so maybe someone else has a better idea than using the 1-range secondary series. Obviously if you are really fanatical about it you could use a 1-tick series, but it is far more expensive.
