Get StopLoss/ProfitTarget from order

[symphys]

When my strategy enters SetStopLoss/ProfitTarget are set for this specific order. I do safe IOrder from Enter...() and every order has a specific SignalName.

How can I get the associated SetStopLoss/ProfitTarget from the IOrder object I safe?

Is there no way, not even while in OnExecution(), to find the original order?

Hello,

I think what you are after is detailed in this link:

If that isn't what you want, can you explain? Thanks.

I don't want to track this stuff. Doing it will reduce performance and blow the code unnecessary.

Since stoploss and profittarget are associated with the original order is there no way to find them?

Also I like to change the name of the stoploss. Can that be done?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

If you don't want to track them as Ben pointed out, please don't work with the Set methods then, as for example the Exit ones would offer you IOrder returns to simplify this.

Ah, thanks. That may be a solution.
Can I use ExitLongLimit and ExitLongStop as OCO since they represent StopLoss and Profit Target?


One question about the help:
This method is ignored if a long position does not exist

Can the Exit order be used right after EnterShort/LongStop?
Or do I need to wait for execution and code it in OnExecution?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

You would need to supply the OCO functionality via your own coding, you can attach those right after the execution, please see our sample on this -
