Hello, I am working on designing a trading strategy that I will eventually trade live. The strategy I am working on now will use limit orders and have stops as close as 2 to 4 ticks away from entry. I am looking at using the strategy on NQ, GC, CL and ES. My question is, if I am running the strategy from home using ninjatrader brokerage, how often can i expect my limit orders to not get filled if I trade 1 to 10 contracts? Or, if I use market orders what kind of slippage should i expect?

It depends where you will put that limit order.
For example if you put it behind a support/resistance, then the fill will be less likely than in front of that zone
same goes for the end of a rotation

Isn't there a way to modify limit orders after a pre determined time ?

of course
you may want to study the example code of a bot i published in the past
it contains code to do updates to the limits
