Easy way to retrieve parent entry order for position?

[MarkWise]

Let's say I have an active/open position. Is there an easy way to retrieve the entry order object that created the position?

Currently, I have to iterate over the orders and match on various criteria. Is there a more efficient way to do this?

Thanks in advance!

Hello MarkWise,

A position can be made of several orders and not just one.

Unfortunately, there are not any tools in the help guide to provide a collection of entry orders that make up a position.

Instead, you would need to track these, likely using a List<Order> collection. Add the order in OnOrderUpdate to the list when order becomes working, remove the order from the list when the entry is filled. Remove the order when the exit order for that entry fills.

Thanks Chelsea.

That's what I'm doing now. I just didn't know if NT had an exposed method for this. (I couldn't find one, so I asked.)
