I have been running the mechanical systems on Ninja
with TDAmeritrade as the broker. I am able to enter and exit
the initial positions fine but if there is more than one cross over
in a day it will not get me into the new position. Just
wondering if anyone has gotten this to work with
TDAmeritrade?
I also was wondering if any one has a ninja strategy that will
run these mechanical systems and if for example the system calls to
short SRS and there are no shorts available it will enter you long
in to URE. Maybe this is a little complicated but it you
can't get into the all the positions of the system the statistics
will not work out.

I'm using Ameritrade's StrategyDesk to run the SRS 6-min 8/71
system. I've encountered the same problem. Sometimes, not always,
the sale of a long position seems to cancel the order to buy a
short position. I'm having to watch it closely, which kind of
defeats the purpose of a mechanical system. Any solutions in
mind?
