Get IOrder AvgPrice > possible ??

[Spinn]

Hi all. I catch myself coming back here because I always get decent answers from this community

I have a strategy that has two sets of opening conditions: one long and one short. I use IOrders, so their respective names are LLA and SRA.

I am now coding a certain aspect of my strategy where I would like to check whether the price of an opened position is above (or below) certain level. I tried

SRA.AvgPrice < Close[0]

but that does not seem to work

I know that

Position.AvgPrice < Close[0]

DOES work, so I was wondering if the same or similar syntax exists for IOrders.


Thank you for your consideration !!

Hello Spinn,

If you are looking for the fill price of an order use IOrder.AvgFillPrice.

Below is a link to the help guide on IOrder.

Hi NinjaTrader_ChelseaB

Thanks for your quick reply!

I already knew about IOrder.AvgFillPrice, but that is not working in this case:

I am using a secondary, finer grain, time period to check for times where the CURRENT price (and not the FILL price) of an open order is below or above a certain level, so I can adjust my trail accordingly.

Is this possible for IOrders ?? I know it can be done with 'regular' positions using
Position.AvgPrice, and was wondering if it were at all possible with IOrders. Perhaps a workaround exists ??

Hello Spinn,

I'm not sure that I am understanding.

You can compare any series price to the price of an order.
Closes[0][0] thats the current primary bars price.
Closes[1][0] thats a secondary added series current price.

Orders do not have a value for the current price. They have values for the limit price, the stop price, and the fill price.

If you are not wanting the fill price of the order, what are you wanting from the order?

The position will take all orders on that instrument made by the strategy and average the prices together.
