'OnOrderUpdate' method error - more than 100 subsequent user events

[scjohn]

I have never seen this error message before:
**NT** Error on calling 'OnOrderUpdate' method for strategy 'ChaosHunterStrategy/566ac974c5b34e7fb8490d498a5c85e6': More than 100 subsequent user events

Any ideas as to what I should be looking for.

Thanks,

John

Hello scjohn,

This message typically is given when a repeated number of methods/functions are called in succession and stack up before NinjaTrader can process them all.

Are you using any Custom Events or external methods?

My bad. I caused an endless loop OnOrderUpdate method.

Hi There,

I just ran into this as well. A simple way to re-create this scenario is to put a SetStoploss() into the OnOrderUpdate method, where the Order update sets a new stop loss and SetStopLoss triggers another OnOrderUpdate which triggers another SetStopLoss and so the loop continues...

Way around this - set a price variable in the OnOrderUpdate Method based on order.stopprice or order.limitprice and pick that variable up in the OnBarUpdate Method where you can then call SetStopLoss() to actually change the stop/target.

Kind Regards
Frank

Hello Frank,

A stop loss is an order and modifying it will cause OrderUpdates to occur. There wouldn't be anything stopping you from updating an active stop loss from OnOrderUpdate, you would just have to be sure that your OnOrderUpdate logic is restrictive enough to only update the stop loss on say: OrderUpdates of other orders, within specific OrderStates.
