Variable to Market order?

[Burga1]

Hi,

Is it possible to assign to a variable the entry price executed by a market order (EnterLong)? I've tried:

double value = EnterLong(1, "Entry");

However I get an error with this...I simply want to "save" the price used for entry for later usage. Thank you.

After you get filled save the value of Position.AvgPrice.

Thank you.

Hi,

For some reason this is returning a value of "0"...I don't understand why:

EnterLong(1, "LO trace"); EnterPlace = Position.AvgPrice;

Can somebody explain why my Print statements show the value for "EnterPlace" is always "0"?

You want to save the value after your order is filled not after you submit your order. So run a check as to when your order gets filled via either Position.MarketPosition or Position.Quantity. Then do the Position.AvgPrice saving.

EntryPrice in EasyLanguage.
Position.MarketPosition changed or
Position.Quantity changed
EntryPrice = Position.AvgPrice

Sorry, Just a memo for myself.

I was looking for a method to calculate the EntryPrice as with Tradestation.
What you mentioned seems to work for me. that is all.
