HI Patrick,

I'm having issues trying to use the OnExecution Method. However given I run simple strategies, hadling only 1 entry per instrument couldn't I use something like this:

if(CrossAbove(EMA(50), EMA(100), 1)) { EnterLong(); SendMail("[email protected]", "[email protected]", "Trade Alert", "Long Entry at"+Position.AvgPrice); }

It appears to work, the only issue I currently have, is that the prices I am sent via email don't reflect the last entry. should I solve this by using FIFO for position avg. price calculations' at Tools-->Options-->General-tab?

Hello sburtt,

Thank you for your post.

The incorrect price is due to the fact the EnterLong() has not even been processed yet before you send out an e-mail.

This is why OnExecution() in important, so that you send the e-mail out when the order is filled.

Please let me know if you are still running into items with OnExecution().
