How to know chart of an order placed

[nandhumca]

Hi , I have created a indicator which will register an OrderUpdate event to all accounts. When an order is placed for that account, my event method will calculate the stoploss and update the stoploss order. To compute the stoploss, my indicator will collect data from onBarUpdate method. I am attaching the indicator on one chart. Since i am attaching an event at account level , if an order is placed from different char where my indicator is not enabled, my order update method is getting executed and computing the stoploss value based on different chart. I want to restrict this behavior to the order placed from the chart which i enabled my indicator. How to do that ?

Hello nandhumca,

You would need to check the Instrument which the order was attached to in order to filer out other instruments, that won't help to determine it was from a different chart of the same instrument. There would not be a specific value that the order has that says its from a specific chart/tool.

What you are asking for would essentially require using a strategy which has its order/execution events filtered to that instance and its built in override methods.
