OnExecution Doubt

[rgaleote]

Hello everyone,

I want to use the OnExecution override in my script just to send me an email every time an order is executed (eg. stop loss order that might get executed anytime of the day), my question might seem dumb but I wanna make sure it won't affect my strategy, here it goes: if I override this method in my script and put just a sendmail command in it, will that affect in any negative way my script?

Eg.
protected override void OnExecution(IExecution execution)


Thanks,

Rodrigo

Hi Rodrigo, I don't see a downside to doing so except perhaps if you're processing a lot of orders, so it resources would be better used more focusedly on the execution aspects.

One more question under this same topic, as a parameter this method receives iexecution, mu question goes, what is the object/property I can use to know if the order is an Entry or an Exit order type? I tried order type, but it's no it. I also tried different properties on the execution.order object, but couldn't find one.

Thanks

Rodrigo

Hi Rodrigo, per se an execution would be just an execution / fill, it would not be tied to any specific time and could occur for all of course. You can still get the info desired, for example via the FromEntrySignal or Name (same as the one directly from the execution) string that would allow you checking into which signal names generated the order.
