IOrder value for "Ignored PlaceOrder"

[astrolobe]

I am having a problem trying to debug some misbehaviour in my strategy. Under certain conditions (yet to be pin pointed), my code that creates stops and targets in OnExecution does not execute. I believe the following scenario may be the cause:


My question: Assuming the IOrder variable (entryOrder_1) already has a value, is it overwritten with a null value from the line of code below, if that statement resulted in this output message:

28/10/2009 9:58:41 PM Ignored PlaceOrder() method at 28/10/2009 9:58:41 PM: Action=SellShort OrderType=Limit Quantity=1 LimitPrice=0.9271 StopPrice=0 SignalName='Short_1' FromEntrySignal='' Reason='Exceeded entry signals limit based on EntryHandling and EntriesPerDirection properties'

entryOrder_1 = EnterShortLimit(0,true, targetQuantity, upperBandEntry, "Short_1");

Background: The limit order statement above is executed on the next tick after a market order has just been submitted...but before receiving the confirmation that the market order has been filled.

astrolobe, no you would set it back to null for example when cancelled without a fill, I believe you run into this as the market order entry is registered and then your new limit entry is ignored as your EntryHandling settings won't permit it - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...yHandling.html
