Re: limit order exits through loop

And I have also made a feature request to have a simulator in MC(similar to NT which would work in realtime as well as during replay) - which would allow to experiment much better with different order styles and this would bring lot of good possibilities in many areas.

Thanks

Re: limit order exits through loop

Mike - I currently use NT for order entry - but I am trying to see if I can use MC itself for charting as well as order entry through strategies. By using external DLL - I woudn't have the ability to replay etc to make sure the orders being placed/replaced/cancelled etc as I would expect them to be....

Re: limit order exits through loop

Dave - Thanks for the reply. From my point of view - If I have 10 contracts(configurable) - I would like to issue a limit order sell and stay in the Sell order queue - and stay there until a condition changes - which would force me to cancel the order. limitations I see with current way of order han...

Re: limit order exits through loop

Janus - thanks a lot for posting the code. Really appreciate it.

I totally agree with you about the simplicity of placing the orders.

Related to the code you have posted - would be going over to see if I can learn any tips :)

Thanks once again.

Mike/Janus - thanks for the replies.

Re: limit order exits through loop

thanks Mike.

Please note that the catch here is - the quantity defined here (10 in this case) - needs to be dynamically configurable and not necessarily a constant 10. That's the reason it is defined as input parameter.

Thanks again.

Re: limit order exits through loop

Mike - Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately - this would issue only one limit order sell for 1 contract and would leave rest of the 9 contracts in hand - with out any sell orders. It would be nice to get 10 limit order exits issued each with one tick higher than the previous limit order - and all at ...

Re: MC 7.0 Pre Alpha

Related to DOM - visual aspect - attached are 2 images - one from MC and one from NT. On MC - it hides the bid side contracts - when there is a limit order where as NT DOM it is better and can see the contracts.
