Update: Faster & Safer Auto-Trading in NinjaTrader 8

Update Date: December 2025

Our automated trading systems are built to run unattended, even during fast and volatile market conditions. In this December update, all MASCapital auto-traders received a focused reliability upgrade aimed at one thing: keeping every trade protected at all times.

This update applies across our three core systems — J Strategy, M Trader, and Reversal Strategy.

What Improved 🔗

  • Faster temporary stop cleanup
    All temporary stops and targets now react on a 1-tick data stream instead of waiting for a higher-timeframe bar to close. Protective placeholders are removed almost instantly, reducing the risk of accidental fills during fast spikes.
  • Stronger order pairing
    Each strategy continuously verifies that stops and targets match the actual open position size — including partial fills. If anything goes missing after volatility or a brief connection issue, the strategy automatically rebuilds protection.
  • Cleaner flat state
    When an account is flat, any leftover stops or targets are immediately canceled. This keeps charts clean and prevents dormant orders from triggering unexpectedly.
  • Session-close safety window
    A configurable no-trade window now activates one hour before the session close (adjustable in settings). Open positions are closed, and no new trades are submitted during this period.
  • Smarter error handling
    If an order is rejected for being above or below market, the strategy now intelligently adjusts the price or switches to a safer order type instead of disabling itself.

Why It Matters 🔗

  • Lower slippage risk
    Tick-based cleanup ensures temporary protective orders are removed before fast moves can hit them on higher timeframes.
  • Reliable protection on partial fills
    Scaling in or out no longer creates mismatched risk. Every fill is tracked so stops and targets always reflect the true position size.
  • Cleaner charts, cleaner logic
    Flat means flat. No hidden or forgotten orders remain in the market.
  • Defined end-of-day behavior
    The pre-close halt avoids thin liquidity, late-session volatility, and unexpected news moves as the trading day winds down.

How to Use It 🔗

  • Update strategy to the latest version. 
  • Use as usual – stops and targets now automatically stay aligned, even after partial fills or brief disconnects.
Note: No workflow changes are required. This update improves reliability behind the scenes while preserving existing strategy behavior.
