OrderState of a StopLimit order

[mbk2787]

Hi all,

I would like to know if, when the stop price specified in a StopLimit order has been reached, the orderState change.

If not, is there a way to understand if the stop price has been reached and the order is waiting for the limit price achievement?

Thanks.

Hello mbk2787, and thank you for your question.

I believe you may be interested in the OnOrderUpdate() method. This will get triggered every time one of your order states changes. I can include an excerpt from the Help Guide.

http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/onorderupdate.htm

private IOrder entryOrder = null;
  
 protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
     if (entryOrder == null && Close[0] > Open[0])
          entryOrder = EnterLong();
}
  
 protected override void OnOrderUpdate(IOrder order)
{
     if (entryOrder != null && entryOrder == order)
     {
          Print(order.ToString());
          if (order.OrderState == OrderState.Cancelled)
          {
               // Do something here
               entryOrder = null;
          }
     }
}

Please let us know if there is any other way we can help.
