EnterLong programming question

[sergeysamsonov]

Hello

This is purely programming question. Can you please let me know what happens when I call EnterLong(100) from OnBarUpdate, Thre are two options:

1. EnterLong creates another thread that handles the execution, in this case the code progresses to a next command without waiting for order to be filled.

or

2. Code progresses to the next command only when order triggered by EnterLong is filled?

In order words, how do I know that order was executed and at what price?

A few more questions:

Is it the same for limit and exit orders?

How can I check my current profit/loss?

Sergey, if you want to access the execution event you can work with the OnExecution() method -

The OnBarUpdate() is called sequentially for each bar, either at the close or on each tick (in realtime) -

To know that you're filled you can either check the Position.MarketPosition on the next bar, or directly work with the IOrder objects giving you access to the current orderstate -

You can use GetProfitLoss() to check for your unrealized, open PnL - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...rofitLoss.html
