breaking large order into small orders on NinjaTrader
Is there a way to break up a large order into a blast of smaller orders on NinjaTrader? Their ATM appears to be all-in/scale-out construct based on different price levels. But I'm talking about, say, if you want to go long 200 contracts of something at such-and-such a price, it'll break it up into, say, 10 separate orders. Anyone? Thanks
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
It's very doable but will require custom coding for the scale in.
What you want is a strategy so if you're able to describe it (how many lots, when add another lot, stop/profit for each lot or a global one, etc) it's doable.
Where can a person learn this in a non intimidating or easily digested way? I am noticing a specific problem with ninja scripts. if you set limit buys and limit sells sort of as a bracket, in certain cases the two entries cancel each other out by default AND there is an open position left or at times a double entry in the market that does not even appear in the chart trader or dom. i want neither of these results. The only similar functionality that ninja references is OCO but OCO is the clean way of choosing between two in a mutually exclusive fashion.
I want to understand how to convert a "workflow" or simple logical process of trading into Ninja trader (C#?) based code instructions and avoid conflicts in logic or errors while doing it. Where can a person gain understanding of that? I think on ninjas site. It is not exactly as clear as it ought to be. Has anybody begun working on this and maybe have/has a forum that can help understanding the underlying logic and language that ninja leverages.
