Time Sliced Entry Orders
An Enhanced Chart Trader module that conceals large positions by submitting disclosed orders at time intervals via one Time Sliced order.
Overview
The Time Sliced Entry Orders module expands the Enhanced Chart Trader. Similar to an Iceberg order, it slices a large quantity order into smaller disclosed orders, sending child order portions to the market at fixed or variable time intervals.
The resting portion might not be filled before it is time to disclose the next portion, so the module gives you control over order type, offsets, and how leftover quantity is handled. The Enhanced Chart Trader can be added to any chart window in NinjaTrader.
This product includes the Basic Chart Trader Tools, the foundation of the Enhanced Chart Trader products for NinjaTrader, which replaces and enhances the standard NinjaTrader Chart Trader.

We have been heads down building Time Sliced Entry Orders instead of filming it. Guilty.

In the meantime, we answer questions with real humans, usually within minutes. Ask us anything about Time Sliced Entry Orders and we will show you exactly how it works.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a time sliced order in NinjaTrader?
A time sliced order splits one large order into smaller orders and sends them to the market at set time intervals, so the full size is never shown at once. Time Sliced Entry Orders adds this to NinjaTrader 8 as an Enhanced Chart Trader module. You set the total Big Quantity and the average Display Quantity, and it releases each slice on its timer until the position is complete.
Is a time sliced order the same as a TWAP order?
It follows the same idea. A TWAP (time weighted average price) order spreads a large order over time in smaller pieces, and Time Sliced Entry Orders releases its slices at intervals you set in milliseconds, seconds or minutes. It does not target a calculated average price. Instead you control the slice size, a random variance on size and timing, and whether each slice is a market or limit order.
What is the difference between an iceberg order and a time sliced order?
Both hide a large order by showing just a smaller Display Quantity. An iceberg order sends the next slice as soon as the previous one fills. A time sliced order sends the next slice when its timer runs out, so a resting slice may not be filled before the next one is disclosed. The Leftover Action setting decides what happens to that unfilled part. Iceberg Entry Orders is a separate module.
How do I set the slice size and interval for a time sliced order in NinjaTrader?
Set the Big Quantity (the total position) and the Display Quantity (the average size of each slice). Variance (%) randomly changes each slice size so the slices do not all look the same. Then pick the Interval Type (milliseconds, seconds or minutes), the Interval Value, and an optional Interval Variance (%) that randomizes the release timing. Each slice can be a market or a limit order.
What happens if a slice does not fill before the next one is sent?
The Leftover Action decides. It cycles through Fill, Cancel and Leave for the unfilled part of the resting slice before the next portion is disclosed. With limit slices you can also turn on Order Offset Trailing, so the limit order trails the market by the number of ticks you set until it fills. An In Profit Action can change how the remaining quantity is worked once the market moves into profit by your trigger ticks.
Do time sliced orders use my ATM strategy stop and target?
Yes, when an ATM strategy is selected. Like every Enhanced Chart Trader entry, a time sliced entry is handed to NinjaTrader's own ATM engine, which places the stop and target from that ATM template. If the ATM Strategy dropdown is set to None, the orders go to the broker with no stop or target attached, so select an ATM before you start a large entry.
What do I need to use Time Sliced Entry Orders?
You need NinjaTrader Desktop (NinjaTrader 8). Time Sliced Entry Orders is a module of the Enhanced Chart Trader, which can be added to any chart window and replaces the standard NinjaTrader Chart Trader. Your purchase includes the Basic Chart Trader Tools, the foundation of the Enhanced Chart Trader products, so you do not need to buy anything else to use the module.
Does it work with NinjaTrader 8.0.28.0?
Yes. It runs on every NinjaTrader 8.1.x.x release, including the latest, 8.1.8.3, and on NinjaTrader 8.0.28.0, the last 8.0 release. 8.0.28.0 takes its own build: after you buy, request it in your Members Area (NinjaScript Downloads, then NinjaTrader 8.0.28.0) or ask us on live chat and we will set you up.
