Just want to let the nexusfi.com (formerly BMT) community know I have put out feelers for this project with for hire NinjaScript consultants from the NT website and have yet to receive a proposal.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
What are you going to use, for orders, Stop orders and/or Limit orders ?
The difficulty will be how to manage the unfilled orders in C2 (they have to be cancelled after something is triggered, opposite signal, or after x minutes, or another trigger of your choice), and how synchronize your NT position with the C2 position (partial fill for instance).
And being able to read the xml sent back by C2.
The other difficulty, is the testing process, as C2 allows only 3 signals (from mémory, not sure), then after you'll have to pay for a testing. And just 3 bullets for this looks not enough.
I've played a bit with the idea, deeper tests are needed (we are limited to 5 signals per system, not 3, I was wrong), but it works.
And a bit nicer than Mike's "old school" method, all is under in the strategy itself, no wget or response file to write.
But Mike has maybe spent 2 hours on it, and I spent much more time on it .
No so good in fact, for trade #3:
- NT: buy 10117, sold 10128 (+11)
- C2: buy 10117, sold 10104 (-13)
10128 was the high of the candle, so maybe it will not be filled in real, ok, why not.
But sold 10104, it's impossible, as we had 10104 only after the end of trade #4.
The cancelled time, on C2, doesn't make sense for trades #3 #4 and #5.
Nor the "Recently Closed Trades"...
Nothing magic.
The signal happens, the strategy executes a SetStopLoss(), SetProfitTarget() and EnterLongLimit() or EnterShortLimit(), then build the correct URL, and sent it to the C2 website. Just like what Mike has done for MC, it's just a bit faster here because all is made in the strategy, no timers and external .exe needed to send the request to the C2 website.
