Actual Trade Date

[elitetradernyc]

Hey guys, how do I get the actual trade date for when EnterLong was executed in a backtest?

Hello elitetradernyc,
If you have an IOrder object then you can get the trade date from the object itself.

A sample code will be like:

//in variable
IOrder ord = null;

//in OnBarUpdate

if (condition)
{
  ord = EnterLong();
}

if (ord != null && other conditions)
{
  DateTime timeOfTrade = ord.Time;
}
