Troubleshoot an incorrect NinjaTrader contract count

What this article helps you do

Confirm that contract count measures entry-side quantity rather than entry plus exit quantity.

Before you start

• The affected trade and its execution list.

Follow these steps

1. 1

   Open Trade Log and select the logical trade.

2. 2

   List each execution in timestamp and sequence order.

3. 3

   Identify the flat-to-position entry quantity.

4. 4

   Exclude ordinary exit quantity from contract count.

5. 5

   Split only the excess quantity that crosses through flat into a reversal.

6. 6

   Compare the result with Calendar and report the execution IDs if they differ.

What you should see

Common mistakes

• Adding entry and exit quantity together.
• Counting a working stop order as a trade.
• Failing to split a reversal at the flat boundary.
