define execution.Order

[jg123]

Can you please give me a description of what NinjaTrader is reading when it comes across

LongEntry == execution.Order

Does this mean that the order has been placed or the order has been executed and filled? Or does it mean something completely different?

Thanks for your help!

Hi jg123,

Thanks for your post.

The execution is usually used with OnExecution(). If OnExecution() is running that means that the order has filled.

The line of code you posted will take the order from that execution and save the IOrder object to a variable named LongEntry.

Okay, that helps to clear things up. Thanks

There is a purpose to the question, in that I am trying to make a couple of adjustments to my already existing code. In OnExecution I have the following:

				if (LongEntry != null
					&& LongEntry == execution.Order)
				{
					LongStop = ExitLongStop(0, true, positionSize, LongStopPrice,"LongStop", "BreakoutLong");
					Print("Long Stop = " + LongStopPrice);
					LongTarget = ExitLongLimit(0, true, positionSize, LongTargetPrice, "LongTarget", "BreakoutLong");
					Print("Long Target = " + LongTargetPrice);
					restrictTrade = true;
					LongEntry = null;
				}

But I want to change when LongEntry is set to null. Instead of being set to null when LongEntry is filled, I would like to set it to null when either LongStop or LongTarget are filled.

Therefore, based on if I am understanding you correctly, I should be able to write the following, correct?

if (LongEntry != null
     && LongEntry == execution.Order)
{
     LongStop = ExitLongStop(0, true, positionSize, LongStopPrice, "LongStop", "BreakoutLong");
     LongTarget = ExitLongLimit(0, true, positionsize, LongTargetPrice, "LongTarget", "BreakoutLong");
}

if (LongStop != null
    && LongStop == execution.Order
    || LongTarget == exeuction.Order)
{
     LongEntry = null;
}

If that is not correct, could you point me in the right direction to set LongEntry to null only after LongStop OR LongTarget are filled?

You are missing brackets for the logic, but it will likely work correctly anyway.

if (LongStop != null
    && [B][COLOR=Red]([/COLOR][/B]LongStop == execution.Order
    || LongTarget == exeuction.Order[B][COLOR=Red])[/COLOR][/B]) ...
