Rithmic trade entry executions does not trigger Stops and Targets due to execution caveat in NinjaTrader 8 with Rithmic #99

Open Aalv3 opened 1 year ago

What would cause bracket orders not to deploy on a live account? Mind you, I have submitted hundreds of orders testing in sim, and they work every time.

MicroTrendsTom commented 1 year ago

So the entry order goes in + Position fills? but no stops/exits? Is this is a rithmic thing? Is it showing a position in the UI?

any errors/debug can you watch it run through a VStudio debugger?

try in Unsafe mode - so it misses all the checks etc

Aalv3 commented 1 year ago

It is on a rithmic prop account. Every strategy I have that uses the ATS backend does the same thing. On sim, I can submit 200 orders and they work perfect with the brackets. On live, it will randomly enter a position with no brackets at all. Sometimes it works, but 70% of the time it does not. I do not have a cash account to try it on at the moment. Not sure how to run in unsafe mode but I will look into this

maybe its related to this #45

Aalv3 commented 1 year ago

Appears to be the same issue. I have ran sidler's version and it does the same thing. Also, my log looks the same as the one he posted. I'm not sure if a solution has been discovered. Will be looking into it

On absence of NT actually fixing the issue at source. A solution is to add a "Rithmic" mode and then after an entry - force an execution OnExec to mimic the normal workflow -when its all filled. This would be for example a second after the entry has gone in etc to call back if rithmic mode

or to poll after a new position and then fire the placeStopLossTraget Workflow.
not a 5monute job for sure.

Note May get addressed in Q2 base do on current time & resources. We would only use it for testing/optimization only not for production trading as the AFt8 supersedes all this tech. Note: You can try plug your code algo signal logic into the AFT8 AlgoTemplates posted in the discord group etc.

latest update the rithmic account was turned down and as yet there is not time to look at this due to other projects - this is still open

@MicroTrendsTom If you're still looking for an account, try apex. If you email them, link the github, and explain your situation, they might just give you a coupon for a free dev account, they have that arrangement with the company I consult for.

Barring that, they routinely run 80% off deals for 1 month, which brings their 25k account down to 30 bucks for the month (USD). They support MCL, which means inside that month you can test quite a bit before running into their $1500 trailing drawdown.

All of what I said above is also true of LeeLoo, so you might want to try them as well.

Yup out of these so called "prop firms" - some better than others Apex seems to be least finickity of the bunch and more popular. Here is a list here of the ones i find the better for NT : https://algotradingsystems.net/GetStarted

The rithmic got turned down as im already using CQG in my retail account, so it would require a new account with a different brokerage/fcm to get that,

The problem i have is time management in 2023 there is no slots. This product here https://algofuturestrader.com/ (AFT) allows coding of algos far superior to this product for free but no backtesting - no issues with any broker as the workflow doesnt use strategies but instead goes via the NT account api and is broker neutral. i might have to add a section in github so show how this is done in fact i do show a bit in the trading group. I will be using this in that project AFT to provoide a backtester - and build open source examples with compiled indicators from AFT- this may present a window to see the rithmic dilema.
