Trade Enter and Exit Prices

[kiss987]

Hello

How can I get my position entry price using for a position that was executed with the EnterLong command?
I have tried the following, however, the realEntryPrice value was set to zero. Am I doing something wrong or is it because I'm using a demo account?

IOrder _realEntryOrder = EnterLong();
double _realEntryPrice = _realEntryOrder.AvgFillPrice;

The same way I tried to get the exit value but I got the value zero again:

IOrder _realExitOrder = ExitLong();
double _realExitOrder = ExitShort();

Thanks

Hello Kiss987,

Where are you calling these methods from? OnBarUpdate(), OnOrderUpdate(), OnExecution()

OnBarUpdate

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

Based on the code this would not report a value if you are calling this directly after the EnterLong statement.

The order will need a chance to be submitted and filled which you would not directly see after calling it.

You could declare the variable _realEntryOrder outside of OnBarUpdate so after it is filled you could check the value on future calls to OnBarUpdate. Or you could use OnExectuion or OnOrderUpdate to view the orders progress and values.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Are the two events triggered for orders that were made out side of the strategy (for example, on a different strategy)?

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

Each strategy is its own instance so the events in a NinjaScript file would only be related to that strategies orders. Other strategies can not provide data to this strategy, and this strategy can not see data from other strategies.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
