Get the originator of the order

[nandhumca]

I am writing standalone indicator to consume the order events. Is there any way to know who originate the order ? like an can be triggered by strategy/replikato/indicator/addon.

One more question: If I put a sleep on onUpdateMethod for 2seconds, will that delay the order submission for 2 seconds ?

Hello nandhumca,

Thank you for your post.

"I am writing standalone indicator to consume the order events."

Can you explain what you mean by consuming the order events? I'm not aware of a way for the indicator script to know where the order originates from (what script generated the order). If you are checking the orders from the Orders collection of the Account class, below is a HG page that goes over all the information you can get from the order object.

It would not be supported to use Thread.Sleep to delay a thread, and we strictly do not recommend it.
