GetAtmStrategyPositionAveragePrice race condition

[ATI user]

how can status[0] print the correct fill price and GetAtmStrategyPositionAveragePrice return zero at the same instant?

i.e. the order is filled....status knows the value....why does GetAtmStrategyPositionAveragePrice not pick it up?

Please post simple as possible code sample showing what you are doing and when you are accessing it. Thank you.

if (orderIdLONG.Length > 0)
{
string[] status = GetAtmStrategyEntryOrderStatus(orderIdLONG );
if ( status.GetLength(0) > 0 && status[2] == "Filled" )
{
entryPriceLong = GetAtmStrategyPositionAveragePrice(orderIdLONG) ;
Print ( " entryPriceLong "+entryPriceLong+ " actual "+status[0] );

although order is filled and a fill price is available, only status[0] returns actual fill price while
GetAtmStrategyPositionAveragePrice returns 0

problem would be solved if status[0] could be converted from string to double... i.e. since GetAtmStrategyPositionAveragePrice is not current at same time

Think you can try

Convert.ToDouble(string);

thanks Josh...works fine

any idea why GetAtmStrategyEntryOrderStatus does not per my code above?

Most likely as you've stated already.

Order updates come, then executions, then position updates. You are just accessing it too early.

right...thanks

probably need to pickup via OnPositionUpdate

convert is easier and works fine
