account order status

[Creamers]

Hi,

I want to develop a indicator/strategy that returns an account order status to a text file. (not strategy status)

For example,: "I'm trying going long, than the order is pending for 5 seconds, than the order gets filled."

My text file should read:
long es 750.00 pending
long es 750.00 filled

What functions / methods should I use for developing my indicator/strategy ?

You can monitor the OnOrderStatus() and trigger writing to text file from these events.

Suggestion?

Hi,

"The OnOrderUpdate() method is called everytime an ORDER MANAGED BY A STRATEGY changes state. An order will change state when a change in order quantity, price or state (working to filled) occurs."


I want to monitor a position that I enter manually in the Sim101 account, any suggestions ?

(So when I place a trade the indicator/strategy can write it in a text file for example: Long ES 5 contracts at 10:16 hour )

You cannot manage manually entered trades.

not managing

Josh,

I just want to monitor the current position! I do not want to interact or change a position.

If it's not possible by a strategy/indicator, can an advanced programmer do this?

Greetings,

Let me rephrase. You cannot access any information about manually entered trades from a strategy let alone an indicator. Therefore you cannot monitor, manage, do anything in relation to manually entered trades.

ok

Ok, I'm just curious and don't want to bug you with my question(s), but I have one more question,

Is it possible that a Certified Ninjatrader Programmer can code this for me in a way that hasn't to do with indicators/strategy's or the standard coding ?




(I read things in the log like: Cbi.Connection.ProcessEventArgs.OrderStatusEventAr gs , Cbi.Order.Update1, Cbi.Connection.ProcessEventArgs.ExecutionUpdateEve ntArgs etc etc. )

Thanks for your time!!!!!!!!!!
