Hello,

when limitentry is working and NT is frozen (occurs in high volume times) will the stop be transmitted?

The question is not where the stoporder resides (brokers server or exchange) when the stop is working. The problem is if the stop is somewhere working (or accepted) when NT was frozen while the limit was filled.

Is there any possibilty in NinjaTrader so that stop is transmitted when limit is filled, or that stop is related maybe to the limitentry so that stop is working even when NT on traders pc is frozen

I think this might be a big problem with this spikes of volume sometimes. Of course one can reduce charts or indicators to a minumum, but what about all the codings and indicators when during live-trading they might cause a CPU problem or whatever issue.

Any idea how to resolve this, how to be sure to have stop with limitentry?

Thank you!
Tony

The stop will work, even if your machine is frozen, or if your connection breaks down.

Unavailability of your machine and/or connection will only impact if you want to change limites/stops after they have been previously submitted and accepted.

Just out of curiosity, how many symbols are you following ?
How many screens are open ?

I haven never seen my machine suffering any delays.
You could test your setting with a market replay at 500x times markets speed and see where the bottle neck is..
It might be that you have something running on your machine that is extremely in-efficient and would even bring
down the most powerful hardware (it is easier to write bad sofware than it is to write inefficient... )
