How can a strategy know when a trade is stopped out via a TrailingStop

[OzSteve]

Hi,
I'm new to NT and this forum, so my apologies if this has been covered elsewhere (or if I've posted in the wrong place).
I have a strategy that places a market order and a trailing stop. I am having trouble trying to find a reliable way of knowing within the code when this trailing stop exits the trade.
I've been through the OnOrderUpdate, but at exit these methods/properties don't change.

If anyone could offer some advice on how I can know when a trade is closed (I'm sure it can be done as it plots it on the chart) then I would be really appreciative.

Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve, welcome to our support forums - a bit simplistic but for a start you could check if the strategy is flat (Position.MarketPosition - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...tPosition.html).

For advanced order tracking, you would need to work with the IOrder objects - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...V6/IOrder.html

Thanks for that tip. I've given it a try and it appears to work well for what I need. Much appreciated.
