ExitLongLimit order with Signal Name

[Nathamus]

Hello!

To enter Long positions with Limit orders using Quantity, Price and Signal Name
I can use the following order

EnterLongLimit(int quantity, double price, string signalName);

I wounder if there is a simmilar overload for the ExitLongLimit? I cannot find it. I would like to place the following order:

ExitLongLimit(int quantity, double limitPrice, string SignalName);

But I can only place:

ExitLongLimit(int quantity, double limitPrice, string SignalName, string fromEntrySignal);

and

ExitLongLimit(int quantity, double limitPrice, string fromEntrySignal);

As a result I cannot identify the source of a sell Limit Order on the order page.

My strategy creates lots of orders. For debugging purpose I need to identify which ExitLongLimit order was executed in a spefic situation. When I take a look at the Order Page all ExitLongLimit orders are identified as "sell" orders.

Any ideas? Is there a possibility to customize the order type overloads?

thx

Why can't you use?







ExitLongLimit(int quantity, double limitPrice, string SignalName, string fromEntrySignal);
When fromEntrySignal is the signal you provided in EnterLongLimit() ?

Because I cannot be sure which entry signal created the current situation / the current amount of shares.

Depending on the current situation different market entry ordersare created with a variable number of shares. Let's say if the market is above a yesterdays close+x buy 10 "buy_in_high", if it is in between close+10 and close-10 buy 3 "buy_in_mid" and if it is below close-10 buy 1 "buy_in_low". Then I buy an sell at certain levels ("buy_one_at_z", "sell_one_at_y", ... etc.). So a ExitLongLimit order could exit one shares of the position I initially bought to enter the market, or it could exitone shares Iadded later.

I see.

Try this, I believe it should work:

ExitLongLimit(quantity, limitPrice, "MyExitName", string.empty);

That works perfect, thanks for the tip.

PS: You have to write empty with capital E, otherwise it won't compile.

ExitLongLimit(quantity, limitPrice, "MyExitName", string.Empty);
