CS0029 with EnterShortStop

[michaelbb]

IOrder entryOrder = EnterShortStop(1,entry);

results in CS0029 - Cannot implicitly convert type void to NinjaTRader.Cbi.IOrder

Other overloaded EnterShortStop methods work fine and return a IOrder Object (as documented).

Version is 6.5.1000 (Live)

Hi michaelbb,

You will want to first do this in Variables:

private IOrder entryorder = null;

Then in OnBarUpdate() where you want to place the order:

entryOrder = EnterShortStop(1, entry);

Hi Josh,

my code was to demonstrate the compiler error.

Is your code compiled on your NinjaTrader version?

On my version the EnterShortStop method is defined as:

void EnterShortStop(int quantity, double stopPrice)

It should be:

IOrder EnterShortStop(int quantity, double stopPrice)

Hi michaelbb,

I see what you mean now. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I will get in contact with development.
