open order

[safetrading]

Is there a function that will tell me if there is an open order (ie, like if I placed a Limit Order that has not been executed yet)?

I use limit orders and I need my strategy to take an action once a trade opens, and for my purposes, once the order is placed, it is the same as if the trade was opened.

Thanks,

You can track the state of the order using an IOrder object. This will allow you to see if the limit order is OrderState.Working or OrderState.Filled, and then take action from there.

Safetrading,

There is also another way of checking for an open order:

for (inti=0; i<Account.Orders.Count; i++)
{
if(Account.Orders[i].Instrument.Id==Instrument.Id&&// checking orders just for your instrument
Account.Orders[i].OrderState==OrderState.Accepted) // get order in the desired status
{
// your logic here
}
}

Hope this helps
