Hey fellow traders, I was wondering if this order placement possibility exists in Ninjatrader. Im basically looking to set a buy limit order above the current trading price without it being triggered until price trades through and back again. For instance, we have a 10 range chart trading at 90.00 with a new bar forming at 90.11 (+1 on of the range bar). I would like to be able to place a buy limit order at 90.10 but only if the new bar forms when price trades through 90.10 to form the new bar. Right now I am placing buy stops at the .11 (+1 on the bar). I figure an extra 1 or 2 tick can go a long way towards making up for slippage etc.
I know you are able to do this type of limit order on Oanda's Java platform on their basic order entry windows. If anyone knows if this is possible Id really like to know!
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Take it as an example how you could do it. You cannot just change this indicator as the contingent order is only a very small part of it.
You have to write your own.
This order exists in NT -- hold control + click middle button on your dom. The number that then appears is the offset. Set it to -1 if you want the buy limit to be one tick below the stop price. Vice versa for sell orders.
