autotrading, averagefill price.

[pnewen]

I am writting a c# application that is dependant on getting the exact fill price of a order. As I am testing my code i am using the simulator with ninja to bug test first before using live data.
Iim sure that the command "AvgFillPrice(OrderID)" works however i need to get the last orderID placed. I used the command "Orders(account)" to get a list of all the order placed. This did not return the most recent order in the listing.
So then i tried NewOrderID(); I got the order and then placed a @Market order using the returned OrderID. The order was placed but it was allocated a different OrderID even though i specified it.
Can you help me with a working example of how to get the entry price of the last order placed? or how to place an order and allocate it a OrderID.

Thank you in advance..

I have tried what you suggested, which was
ShortOrderID = Ninja.NewOrderId(); .
Command("PLACE", Short_Account, Ninja_Instrument, "SELL", 1, "MARKET", 0, 0, "", "",ShortOrderID, "", "");
string tmporders = Ninja.Orders(Short_Account);

tmporders just returns a null. and when i check the log. the order get submitted with the OrderID generated in the first line of code but then it gets changed to a different number.

All i need is a way of getting the order id, for
1. being able to cancel a limit order. and
2. getting the exact fill price of an order. i need the fill price to be able to calculate my exact Profit or Loss.

Any one have a work around??

pnewen,

You are likely just trying to access it too early. Wait for the order to actually exist before calling Orders().

I did have a sleep command in there as well.
I got it working. you need to have a OCO value in the Ninja.command(....)
once i entered that everything started work correctly.
thanks for your support.
The rest is just some coding now
Happy Days. !
