how determine if we have a limit order?

[aekzof]

Hi
With (Position.MarketPosition), we can determine if we have a long or short or flat position.
But how can we know with NinjaScript that a Limit Order is pending?

Another question: a limit order always canceled after the current candle is closed.

I have created a counter to keep the order active until the counter is reached, and it works.

However, I would like to know if there is a command or an option that can be added to keep the order active without needing a counter.

Best regards,

Hello, thanks for writing in. The strategy can either keep track of the orders it places and the state the order is in by monitoring the OnOrderUpdate event, or you can look inside of the Account.Orders collection, but this will show all orders on the account, not just the orders placed by the strategy:

To keep any resting order alive, use the special overload that takes a IsLiveUntilCanceled parameter e.g. EnterLongLimit (all order entry methods have this overload):
EnterLongLimit(int barsInProgressIndex, bool isLiveUntilCancelled, int quantity, double limitPrice, string signalName) //set to true to keep the order alive
