existing orders

[fiddy]

in my output window i keep getting repeat orders sent as conditions keep being met.

as such i get Ignored PlaceOrder() method: ' Reason='There already is a matching order with same prices and quantity'

is there a condition i can put in the code to check for existing order so that only unique orders presented in the output window

Hello fiddy,

Thank you for your inquiry.

What you can do to prevent this message from continuously occurring in your output is by utilizing a boolean, for example, to prevent the order from being called again.

As an example:

private bool alreadySubmitted = false;

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
     if (/*some entry condition*/ && alreadySubmitted == false)
     {
          EnterLongLimit(0, true, 1, 1000, "TheEntryOrder");
          alreadySubmitted = true;
     }
}

By setting the alreadySubmitted boolean to true, the if condition will not be true and EnterLongLimit(), with the same parameters, will not be called again.

thanks Zachary, how would you suggest resetting it to false once the position has been exited so multiple trades can be done.
i cannot use Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat as if the order hasnt been filled yet i will start to get output again

Use the OnPositionUpdate() handler, and reset the bool if Position.Quantity is zero.
