Strategy: Monitoring Stop-Loss and Profit Target Orders

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

At times you may have a need to monitor the stop-loss and profit target orders generated by the SetStopLoss(), SetTrailStop() or SetProfitTarget() methods. You can accomplish this by capturing their unique Order object as the the OnOrderUpdate() method is called and process them into a collection for future referencing.

Key concepts in this example:

• Monitoring stop-loss order states
• Monitoring profit target order states
