how to receive the current(!) price from within OnExecution?

[Trendseek]

Hi Ninjas,
perhaps an easy question:
I want to set a Stop Order (i.e. with ExitLongStop) within an OnExecution Event.
This Stop Order should based on the current (the "active") price of the instrument - I am shure this could not the Close[0] of the current Bar - because the Current bar is still generated...
How could I receive this price?

Hi Trendseek,

The last traded price is Close[0] when CalculateOnBarClose = false.

OnExecution is the event raised during a fill, but you can access bar objects or other variables within this handler provided they are declared in proper scope. Declare variables in the variables region to have them available anywhere in the script.

You could also work with OnMarketData() to get the last price and assign a variable to it from there.

Hello Ryan,
thanks for your rapid and helpfull reply!
I will do a closer Look to that OnMarketData Stuff...

[EDIT: Solve...] This works - BUT only with realTimeData!

#region Variables
private double _lastPrice;
#endregion
...
use the _lastPrice in other Events...
...

protected override void OnMarketData(MarketDataEventArgs e)
{
if (e.MarketDataType == MarketDataType.Last) _lastPrice = e.Price;
}


_lastPrice is only visible in OnMarketData.
Outside (i.e. OnBarUpdate) _lastPrice is always 0 on Historical Data - but works on RealTimeData

Nice :-)
