IOOrder variable not NULL

[rcsingleton]

Hello.

For some reason my IOrder variable is not seen as NULL initially.

I set it to NULL, but its not seen as NULL when it gets to OnBarUpdate() section.

In the output window, its seen as containing the following text:

longOrderA = Order='NT-00003/Sim101' Name='Long Part A' State=Cancelled Instrument='TF 06-11' Action=Buy Limit price=855.3 Stop price=0 Quantity=1 Strategy='rcsSimpleSuperGrail' Type=Limit Tif=Day Oco='' Filled=0 Fill price=0 Token='160642e28e2a49b0b15e28fd9472fd63' Gtd='12/1/2099 12:00:00 AM'

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have my code listed below.

Variable:
Private IOrder longOrderA = null;

OnBarUpdate()
if ( longOrderA == null && arrowDir == "up" ) // && "other code for those two indicator arrows" )
{
if ( Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short ) // handling Stop and Reverse condition
{
ExitShort();
SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Ticks, _initialStopLoss);
}

longOrderA = EnterLongLimit(_numOfContracts, GetCurrentBid(), "Long Part A");
barNumberOfOrder = CurrentBar;
}

Hello rcsingleton,

It will no longer be null once the condition is true and you assign it a value. Do you have logic in place that resets this object back to null when filled or cancelled?

protected override void OnOrderUpdate(IOrder order)
{
    if (entryOrder != null && entryOrder == order)
    {
         Print(order.ToString());
        if (order.OrderState == OrderState.Filled || order.OrderState == OrderState.Cancelled)
              entryOrder = null;
    }
}

Hi Ryan,

Yes, that fixed it. Thanks

protected override void OnOrderUpdate(IOrder order)
{
// Resetting IOrder object(s) to NULL after order is filled
if ( longOrderA != null && longOrderA == order )
{
Print(order.ToString());
if ( order.OrderState == OrderState.Filled || order.OrderState == OrderState.Cancelled )
longOrderA = null;
}

if ( shortOrderA != null && shortOrderA == order )
{
Print(order.ToString());
if ( order.OrderState == OrderState.Filled || order.OrderState == OrderState.Cancelled )
shortOrderA = null;
}

}
