Exit price syntax

[2Look4me]

Hi, I am using Position.AvgeragePrice to know the entry price. I need also the exit price. What would be the syntax for the exit price?

Thanks

Hello 2Look4me,

Thank you for the post.

To know the exit price you would generally need to use the OnOrderUpdate or OnExecution override to catch the exit execution by its name. You can find an example of finding a target in the following link. Finding an exit order would be the same concept to find the order by its name in the override. The OnExecution override can be used if you wanted to only know the price once the exit had filled. OnOrderUpdate can be used to track the order from when it starts and get a variable for the order in question.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thanks Jesse for the reply. Although I would like to use the exit price as part of my script rather than just printing the value. I'm already using Position.AveragePrice in the script, but would like to use the exit price as well in the script.

Hi 2Look4me,
You are so close with the tip from Jesse ...
In OnExecutionUpdate(), you can call "Print(execution.ToString());" to print everything, including the "price".
Of course, you can do more than just printing. If you want to use "price" in your strategy, consider to declare a global variable (double).
In OnExecutionUpdate(), set your global variable to "price".
Then use it in your strategy or/and print just that variable instead of everything.

One of the most frequent topics here and everywhere the market is discussed, is exit strategy. Everyone seems to have one (whether it works or not) and frankly I have no idea how they're doing it. So either I just have a glaring weakness or most Tutuapp 9Apps Showbox people are full of ****.
