IOrder Query

[sburtt]

Hi NT Support,

It might be a stupid question, I'm running a strategy that makes use of IOrders, I declaire the following variables in the script:

	
private IOrder entryOrderLong 	= null;
private IOrder stopOrderLong 	= null
private IOrder takeProfitOrderLong = null;

that I then correctly manage in the OnExecution() and OnOrderUpdate() sections.

However now I have the need to use also an Exit Strategy at Market, usually I would use

ExitLong(0,stopOrderLong.Quantity,"ExitLong","Long");

My question is:
Do I need to declare a variable such as exitOrderLong = null; and then use:
ExitLong(0,stopOrderLong.Quantity,"ExitLong","Long ");

or isn't this necessary because it doesn't make sense?

Hi,

No, you do not need to assign an IOrder object. Unless you wish to check various order properties as you're doing on OnExecution, etc. If you just want to exit the long position, you can just call the ExitLong() method as you're doing without having to declare the object.
