How to know when a sell has been filled

[yonimoti]

Hi,
im using a pretty simple strategy: based on several indicators im doing an entry.
the problem occurs when im trying to sell.
im using a SetTrailStop func, but I dont have a specific order to sell an entry.

how should I know when a sell order has been filled?

i was trying to use iOrder object, but it appears that its too hard to find such a simple request .... at least for me
i found the performance real time trades, but i havent checked it out yet (let me know if this is the right direction).

the main use case that i think of is: to have a counter for the number of sells i've submitted a while ago (so i wouldnt have multiple entries with a stock which i've bought and sell with loss for several times)

thx in advance,
Yoni

Hello Yoni,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

This can be achieved by using the OnExecution() method and pulling the execution.Order.Name then adding to an int for your count.

For example:

		protected override void OnExecution(IExecution e)
		{
			if(e.Order.OrderState == OrderState.Filled
				&& e.Order.Name == "Trail stop")
			{
				count++;
			}
		}
