Array of trades

[ttodua]

Hi.

I know how to do it with doubles:

private double[] MyArray;
protected override void Initialize()
{
	MyArray = new double[100];
}

//then I can access them using  MyArray[x]

however, I want to store Orders, how to do that?

MyOrders["stop1"] = ExitLong(.....)
MyOrders["stop2"] = ExitLong(.....)

then I could access that later in Foreach, like:

foreach (string oName in MyOrders) {
  xyz= MyOrders[oName ].Quantity;  
  // etc..
}

Hello selnomeria,

Thanks for opening the thread.

You could use an array of Order objects, or you may wish to use a Dictionary if you would like to easily reference your collection of orders by name.

You could reference the following syntax:

private Dictionary<string, Order>						myOrders;
private Order[]											MyArrayOrders;

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
	...
	else if (State == State.Configure)
	{
		myOrders = new Dictionary<string, Order>();
		MyArrayOrders = new Order[10];
	}

Using a Dictionary:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
	Order myTempOrder;
	string myTempTag = "Tag";
	myTempOrder = EnterLong(myTempTag);
	
	myOrders.Add(myTempTag, myTempOrder);
	
	foreach(KeyValuePair<string, Order> kvp in myOrders)
	{
		if( kvp.Key == "Tag" )
			myTempOrder = kvp.Value;
	}

Using an Array:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
			
	MyArrayOrders[0] = EnterLong("MyTag");
			
	foreach( Order thisOrder in MyArrayOrders)
	{
		if( thisOrder.Name == "MyTag" )
			Print(thisOrder.Name);
	}

Arrays and various types of Collections are extensively documented by Microsoft. You can reference their complete documentation for in depth explanations and examples below:

Arrays: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dot...e/arrays/index

Dictionary's: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dot...tframework-4.7

Please let me know if I can be of further help.
