detect order that is just opening

[leojimenezp]

I would like to know and save in variables when an order is opened in an account. I would like to know if the order that was opened is a buy or a sell order


I have a list of accounts in a property

    #region properties
        [NinjaScriptProperty]//[XmlIgnore]
        [Display(Name="Copy from this Account ",                                 Order=1, GroupName="1. Replicate ChartTrader")]
        [TypeConverter(typeof(NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AccountNameConverter))]
        public string MasterAccount_name { get; set; }
        ​

Hello leojimenezp,

The order can be assigned to a variable from the <Account>.OrderUpdate event handler method.

Below is a link to the help guide.

The AtmStrategyIdentifier has sample code of adding an event handler method to the <Account>.OrderUpdate event you may find helpful.

To check if a buy or sell order use Print() (or NinjaTrader.Code.Output.Process()) to print the <order>.OrderAction.
