I'm looking to use marketable limit orders in NT7. For instance, for a long entry I want to lift the ask (i.e., cross the spread).
--Backtest mode: I can get this to work in backtest mode fairly easily just by using Bid/Ask bars objects.
--Real-time w/Sim101: However, when working with real-time data on the Sim101 account I can't seem to get NT to lift the offer.
My limit order looks something like this: EnterLongLimit(GetCurrentAsk(), "MktLimitLong");
In the output window I can see my limit order sitting out there and I can see that ask = limit but there's no fill.
Does anyone know if this is a limitation of the Sim101 account, or NT doesn't support marketable limits, or a flaw in my reasoning?
