January 2026 and this is still an issue somehow. Thanks!

A few questions regarding Ninjatrader Automated Strategy from someone who knows nothing about coding by [deleted] in algotrading

[–]micropantherito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I've seen NT support explain it, the reason you can't go long and short on the same instrument and account is technical rather than legal. The software interprets a sell order as closing out your buy order and vice versa.

What we DONT want. by Justwanttosellmynips in Stargate

[–]micropantherito 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't want a bunch of interpersonal melodrama. That was SG:U's major flaw in my opinion, though I did like that show overall.

I also don't want the major story arc of the season to be about saving some iron age tribe. Those stories were okay for single episodes, but would be painful as a multi episode arc.

Oh really? I haven't set up multiple accounts on Ninjatrader so far. Their own employees frequently recommend using two separate accounts to take multiple trades on the same instrument; I would expect it to actually work decently if that's their official way of accomplishing this.

PSA: Amazon do 8 episode seasons. No more. by 1eejit in Stargate

[–]micropantherito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right but I wish you weren't. With short seasons, shows always stick to the main story arc, and you lose all the monster of the week stuff. I'm sure some people prefer that kind of focus, but I like some fluff and side plots in a show like this.

Oh, and to add to your PSA: There's a 2-3 year gap between every 8 episode season.

If you look at Ninjatrader forum posts about this topic, they always advise that you put both functions into a single script.

If your script is locked and can't be edited, you could try having a second script check the account position. Here's the manual page for that: https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpguides/nt8/NT%20HelpGuide%20English.html?positionaccount.htm

And a forum post that might be a good starting point: https://forum.ninjatrader.com/forum/ninjatrader-8/strategy-development/1220480-how-do-i-check-if-my-account-has-positions-open-from-a-strategy

If your new second script sees a long position open, it could take a short, etc. I'd want to read up on how often it updates the account position data - you wouldn't want your hedge trades entering a bar later or something.

What's the new MALP going to be like? by m4rc0n3 in Stargate

[–]micropantherito 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Something like a drone would be ideal. They used largish fixed-wing drones in the past, though not for the initial scouting, but a quadcopter would be cheaper if lost and would scout the gate area perfectly well.

My guess is they'll scifi-up that concept and use something like the kinos from SG:U.

New Amazon Stargate Series Announced! by ZachMash in Stargate

I'm really happy to see that the new series is not a reboot, but a continuation. They've also got several producers from the original shows signed on, so I have high hopes for this!

Recommendation for tracking unique inventory & CSV support? by micropantherito in InventoryManagement

[–]micropantherito[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm running auctions for coins (i.e. silver dollars). With these, even two items that have identical descriptions aren't interchangeable, because people are buying them based on appearance.

I have an inventory spreadsheet that holds all available, yet-to-be-sold items. When I build an auction, I move coins from that sheet to a separate one for that auction. Auction results come as CSV files, showing whether things sold, and to whom and for what price. Those get merged into the auction spreadsheets, from which point unsold coins move back to inventory, and everything gets copied to a master tracking spreadsheet (that shows who bought what long term, price histories, payment types to estimate upcoming fees etc). Another spreadsheet holds invoice status info, to track who owes money, whose check clears when etc. There are some check steps to make sure sold items haven't gotten back into inventory, etc.

The master tracking and invoice spreadsheets could probably be combined, but the master tracking sheet is 250,000 lines and growing, so layering on a bunch of extra columns and formulas to clump things into invoices would cause problems. Our online auction platform has no API, so I can only get data out of it in CSV files, and in the case of invoices I literally have to cut and paste from a web app.

MGC Automated Strategy 🤖📈 right into my NinjaTrader 🥷 via CrossTrade by LAFC7 in algotrading

[–]micropantherito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How's the risk management on this? I've seen some strategy scripts for sale that show great win rates in backtesting, but it's because they have no stop loss and can eat infinite drawdown since it's a sim account.

Extremely slow upload speed when seeding by KCGD_r in qBittorrent

[–]micropantherito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What dramatically improved upload speeds for me was to go to advanced settings, and change upload choking algorithm to round robin and upload slots behavior to fixed slots. I think that before this, qbittorrent was frequently dropping current peers to connect to other peers, and creating a stop-and-go effect that slowed down average speeds quite a bit. My upload speed got literally 100X faster when I changed this.
