Add-On Changelog

Latest release: v1.13.10

v1.13.10​

  • Trade Copier missed-trade fix: Fixed an issue where the copier could intermittently miss a leader order or fill entirely, leaving Auto-Sync to catch the follower up a few seconds later, which showed up as delayed copies and slippage. Most likely on machines starved for CPU (for example, single-core VPS plans). The copier now also logs a clear "missed event" warning in the Activity Log if a leader fill goes unprocessed, instead of staying silent.
  • Trade Copier close reliability (order mode): Fixed followers being left in an open, unprotected position after a leader Close when a stale correction record from a previous trade blocked the flatten. Manual Sync and leader Close now always force a correction through.
  • Reconnect stability: Fixed NinjaTrader assertion errors after a data-feed reconnect while an ATM strategy was live, which could recur daily and require a NinjaTrader restart. ATM strategies are no longer restarted by the reconnect policy (NinjaTrader re-attaches them to their positions natively), and a strategy that is already running can never be initialized a second time.
  • Reconnect reliability: A strategy restore attempt that times out no longer resumes unexpectedly later in the session, and a restore is only reported successful once the strategy actually starts; otherwise it is retried on the next reconnect.
  • Stability: Fixed a rare error dialog that could appear in NinjaTrader during heavy signal activity around a connection outage. Orders and positions were never affected.
  • Reliability: Fixed an issue where status reporting could begin logging errors every few minutes and not recover until NinjaTrader was restarted.

v1.13.9​

  • Signal Share status accuracy (behavior change): Routine lifecycle events (OCO cleanup, cancel-after-fill) are logged as informational with the cause stated, not as failed copies. Real rejections still report as failures with the broker reason.
  • Clearer Signal Share messages: Status messages state account, instrument, and outcome; identifiers are no longer truncated.
  • Honest failure counters: Expected lifecycle events no longer inflate a subscription's failure count, streak, or at-risk status.
  • Skipped-entry symmetry: Cancels and modifies for intentionally skipped entries (multiplier rounds to 0 contracts) are marked skipped by design instead of failing with "order not found".
  • Order links survive broker reconnects: A brokerage reconnect mid-trade no longer breaks the link between the sender's order and the receiver's copy, so later cancels and modifies keep working instead of failing with "order not found or already terminal". Links also persist across NinjaTrader restarts.
  • Cancels retry after an outage: A cancel arriving while the account's connection is down is re-applied automatically on reconnect, so GTC stop/target copies can no longer keep working (or fill) through an outage.
  • Flat sender, clean receiver: When the sender goes flat, the receiver also cancels its remaining Signal Share working orders for that instrument, even if an individual cancel was missed. Only orders Signal Share placed are touched.
  • Real OCO brackets on the receiver (behavior change): Copied stop/target pairs are placed as a true OCO group, so filling one side cancels the other even when a relayed cancel can't be applied. Opt out per subscription with nativeOco.
  • Distinct cancel outcomes: "Not found" and "already Cancelled/Filled" report separately, and a cancel against a disconnected account says so.
  • Backtest commission templates now apply: fill.commission_template attaches to the isolated Backtest account and is reflected in per-trade and total commission. Unknown template names fail with the available list, and a resolved template that still yields zero commission adds a commission_warning to the result.
  • Backtests report effective parameter values: Results include effective_parameters and flag parameter_drift when an input no longer holds its applied value after the run, distinguishing inputs reset by the strategy's own code from engine issues.
  • ATM entries honor STRATEGY_TAG (behavior change): ATM orders on the ATI path now run the same Strategy Lock check and claim as regular orders; previously these positions were left unmanaged. Blocked commands log the reason in the Activity Log.

v1.13.8​

  • Signal Share accuracy: Broadcast positions no longer count resting stops and targets as filled, fixing false "out of sync" detections and wrong-direction announcements on bracket orders.
  • Resync safety: Corrections wait for the position to settle before the next signal is processed, and are capped relative to the source's target size; oversized corrections are withheld with a logged warning instead of submitted.
  • Missed-signal replay: Receivers that reconnect after a brief outage automatically request missed broadcasts, delivered in order and deduplicated so nothing runs twice.
  • Reliable broadcast delivery: Broadcasts go over both the live connection and HTTP with server-side deduplication, so a degraded connection can't silently drop signals.
  • First broadcast under load: Fixed a race where a rapid modify could suppress the initial order broadcast.
  • Fractional multipliers (behavior change): Signals that scale below 1 contract are now skipped instead of rounded up. The old round-up behavior is available per subscription via the new "Minimum 1 lot" setting.
  • Smarter rate limiting: Under burst load only order-modification broadcasts are shed; entries, exits, and cancels always deliver.
  • Broadcaster management: Bulk invites, paginated follower lists, and per-source subscriber limits.
  • Performance: Batched execution audits, periodic sweep of per-order tracking maps, and earlier filtering of ineligible order events.
  • Optimization sweeps honor fixed parameters (behavior change): Fixed parameters values now apply to every sweep iteration instead of silently running at strategy defaults. Sweep results will differ from earlier builds; the new numbers are the correct ones.
  • Strategy re-enable reliability: Re-enabling a disabled account-hosted (headless) strategy now recreates it from its saved deployment, instead of failing with enable_unconfirmed and a dead Strategies-grid checkbox.
  • Strategy lifecycle diagnostics: If an enable or disable operation exceeds its time budget, the activity log records a warning with the affected thread and recovery guidance.
  • Strategy start arguments: StartStrategy accepts period as a string or whole-number decimal and rejects anything else with bad_arg, instead of silently substituting 5-minute bars.
  • Cleaner sweep results: trades_count_raw is included only when it carries a real flushed trade count.
  • Adopt manually-attached strategies: The new AdoptStrategy call brings a strategy attached by hand in NT8 under CrossTrade lifecycle management without redeploying it. Adopt while it's running; re-adopting refreshes the record after input changes in NT8's UI.
  • Multi-timeframe restore accuracy: Reconnect restore and adoption now record a strategy's true primary bars period, so a restored multi-timeframe strategy no longer comes back running on an added timeframe.

v1.13.7​

  • Commission accuracy: Session commissions now come from NT8's account-level commission counter instead of a trade-history reconstruction. This fixes phantom negative "Unrealized" values on flat accounts (typically the size of one round trip's commissions) after a settled trade and at the Globex open.
  • Unrealized PnL: Displayed unrealized is always pure mark-to-market, matching NT8's own Unrealized column. Commission effects are reported in their own fields instead of being folded into unrealized.
  • Commissions in the dashboard: The Account Manager shows session commissions beneath Total PnL, with open-position commissions in the tooltip.
  • Threshold correctness: Monitors with "Include Commission" enabled evaluate thresholds on the corrected values, so triggers fire at the true P&L rather than one carrying the phantom offset.
  • Consistent naming: Dashboard labels now match NinjaTrader's vocabulary: Realized PnL, Unrealized PnL, and Total PnL.
  • Compatibility: Add-ons back to v1.12.0 keep working with the updated dashboard; unrealized displays correctly on all of them. On add-ons older than v1.13.7, Total PnL can still include the old phantom commission offset until you update.

v1.13.6​

  • Account P&L: Reports and risk thresholds now use NT8's broker-session realized P&L.
  • Safer backtests: Strategy backtests use only NT8's isolated Backtest account.
  • Reliable optimization: Parameter sweeps reset each run, reject invalid inputs, and rank by the selected fitness metric.
  • Strategy controls: Disable and enable actions are verified against NT8; headless strategies can be recreated safely.
  • Reconnect recovery: Running strategies restore once after a connection loss, without duplicates.
  • Clearer alert logs: Alert activity uses plain language, one log source, and links to the live console.
  • Historical data: GetBars supports a configurable timeout from 2 to 25 seconds.

v1.13.5​

  • Database reliability: WAL mode, write serialization, and retries prevent dropped audit rows under load.
  • Signal Share: Durable sequence numbers prevent valid signals from being rejected after a broadcaster restart.
