verification of successfull order entry

[Mira123456789]

Hello,
what is the best way, how to verify that the order entry was successfull?
If I use for example EnterLong() or EnterLongLimit() function for opening position I would like to be sure the position was openned without error. If I have some strategy and I want to open some position I think it is neccessary to use some cycle : while the position was not openned successfully (without error) then try to open it.... for example 10 times and if some error occur 10 times then I will do something - for example end the strategy or ..... I did not find any example in help how to verify the position was successfully openned. Every example in help expect successfull position openning. What is you opinion about it?
Thanks for your help.

Hello Mira123456789,

Thank you for writing in and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

Just to clarify, are you trying to check if an entry order has filled?

You can use OnExecution() to check for this.

As an example:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
     EnterLong("Entry");
}

protected override void OnExecution(IExecution e)
{
     if (e.Order.Name == "Entry" && e.Order.OrderState == OrderState.Filled)
          Print("Entry filled.");
}

More about OnExecution() can be found here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...nexecution.htm

Yes, I would like to know if the order from strategy was filled or some error occur.
My question is what possibilities can happend? And from the answer I will know what is neccessary to check in the strategy.
So I will check if the order was filled .... what can happend? Only filled or is it possible the order is only partial filled? And what to do if the order is only partial filled or not filled?
It means some error occur and I have to try to set next EnterLong() or not? If the order is only partial filled does it mean the EnterLong() function ended and it is not possible the order will be fully filled after some ticks or not?
In other words..... does it mean it is neccessary to use some loop? While the order is not fully filled set EnterLong()???
If yes, how to do that? Is it ok below?


protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
EnterLong("Entry");
}

protected override void OnExecution(IExecution e)
{
if (e.Order.Name == "Entry"){
if (e.Order.OrderState != OrderState.Filled){ // order isn't filled, I have to try it again
EnterLong("Entry");
}
}
}

Hello Mira123456789,

Thank you for your response.

I would use the OnOrderUpdate() method and pull the status of the order from there. You can pull it's OrderState to see if it is filled, cancelled, part-filled, etc.

For information on OnOrderUpdate() please visit the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...rderupdate.htm

Please let me know if you have any questions.
