Hello,

By working offers do you mean working orders?

If so, in general it is recommended to use the OnOrderUpdate and OnExecution to track orders progress and for storing IOrders. You can find more on these methods here:

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hi Jesse,

I mean working orders that are offers, doesnt NT have a variable for this that I can just call?

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

I wanted to clarify, are you asking about getting the levels of Ask offers data? Or level2 data?

I look forward to being of further assistance.

I want the actual number of working orders, ie how many working sell orders I have.

Hello,

You are able to get this information using OnOrderUpdate, if you refer to the links in post #2, OnOrderUpdate gets called for each status update to an order, so you can count orders as they are placed using the following:

protected override void OnOrderUpdate(IOrder order)
{
	if(order.OrderAction == OrderAction.Sell && order.OrderState == OrderState.Working)
	{
				
	}
}

You would of course need to add counting logic, but this would check if the order is a sell order and is working.

If you are looking for a method that simply returns the total working orders that are sells for the account, there is no supported method for this.
There is a unsupported way to do this, which you can review from this post: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...78&postcount=2

I look forward to being of further assistance.
