Indicator reading orders

[tonynt]

Hello,

I have an indicator that is reading the order from an account and its giving me the "order.LimitPrice"

But I need to seperate short and long orders.

Is there a syntax or a logic to have order.LimitPrice"Short" and order.LimitPrice"Long" please?

When typing in the code then there appears in the NT-popup window only order.LimitPrice.

Thank you!
Tony

Hello tonynt, thanks for your post.

The Order object has an OrderAction property, this can be used to tell if the order was a buy or sell.

Best regards.

Hello,

yes, you can be of further assistance to me.

When I code a bracket in the indicator with
if(Close[0]>order.LimitPrice+ATRticks*TickSize && order.OrderAction==OrderAction.Buy) movelongorder=true;
if(Close[0]<order.LimitPrice-ATRticks*TickSize && order.OrderAction==OrderAction.Sell) moveshortorder=true;

will that work (the question is not about the action, I just give the bool here for the logic)? Or might there be a mess when there are short and long orders?

I´m experiencing strange order handling and I´m not sure if this here makes sense before doing more debugging.

Thank you!
Tony

Hello tonynt, thanks for your reply.

The code you posted seems ok, but it would take testing in the actual script to confirm this is working for you as expected. Note that the Order object also has a Name property. Giving your orders unique signal names can be helpful for identifying them at a later time.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
