Best way to filter order status

[yades]

Hi there

I run a script that alerts me via email when the market is favourable for my trading, however when the strategy sends an order to the market (limit or stop) I would like to avoid getting alerts on the same bar I send the order to the market, whats the best way to filter this?

I tried something like this but it doesn't work

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat && (entryOrderShort !=null || entryOrderLong !=null)) 										
				{

Hello yades,

One way to accomplish this is to use a bool to prevent the alert.

For example:

private bool generateAlert = true;

in OnBarUpate():
if (/* add your conditions for order here*/)
{'
generateAlert = false;
EnterLong();
}

if (generateAlert == true)
{
Alert("myAlert", NinjaTrader.Cbi.Priority.High, "Reached threshold", "Alert1.wav", 10, Color.Black, Color.Yellow);
}

in OnOrderUpdate():
if (order.OrderState == OrderState.Filled)
{
generateAlert = true;
}
}
