OnBarUpdate Vs. OnExecution

[binwang2]

Hi NT experts,

I have a generic questions on the difference in handling order status with OnBarUpdate and OnExecution.

Right now stop and target orders are submitted in OnExecution after verifying the associated entry orders are filled.

Are there any pitfalls if stop and target orders are submitted in OnBarUpdate after vefifying entries are filled? Suppose CalculateOnBarClose = false.

binwang2, the difference would be the slightly different timing when those methods are called then, OnBarUpdate() on each tick (thus can depend on the speed of the market), while OnExecution() would be called for the incoming executions directly, thus OnExecution() would give you more granular access in the event cycle.
