Hello,

I need to read the orders that I place manually, from my script, be it indicator or strategy,
is that possible?

I did not find answers in the forum or google
thanks

Hello PabloDea,

Thank you for your post.

In order to read orders that were placed manually, you would need to utilize the Account class in your script. This information is listed in the Add On section of the help guide, though it may be used in other script types such as indicators and strategies. The Account class allows you to subscribe to account-related events, so for example, you could subscribe to order updates and get information from orders that were manually placed. For more information:

• OrderUpdate - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...rderupdate.htm

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

Hello PabloDea,

Thank you for your reply.

When you test in the playback connection, the account used is called Playback101 so you may need to update the script to subscribe to Playback101 instead of Sim101. See note number 3 on the following page regarding the Playback101 account:
