How to capture orders execution Failure

[rgaleote]

Hello Everyone,

Yesterday my script tried to execute an order, but got a error message back from the broker. Which is fine, the error was actually valid, but I just figured I need to capture this error and treat it.

Question goes: how can I capture an order execution failure at the same moment I executed the order, I could always check position if flat on the next bar update, but I need a more real time control. Can that be captured on OnBarUpdate right after the execution command (Enterlong, entershort), like in a try catch? Or can I capture if the order was executed successfully on the event OnExecution?

What would you guys recommend?

thank you,

Rodrigo

OnOrderUpdate() records what happens to orders.

Hi rgaleote,

Thank you for your post.

Did the error cause the strategy to become disabled?
If so, you may need to set the RealtimeErrorHandling to NoAction so that you can print the message from OnOrderUpdate().

In OnOrderUpdate() you can print the information of the order.

private override void OnOrderUpdate(IOrder order)
{
print(order.ToString());
}
