Check atmstrategy MarketPosition in an indicator?

[HappyTrader76]

I created an indicator with different selectors for quantity, account, instrument and atm strategies. Inside the OnBarUpdate() I have a simple EMA crossover condition to take trades with the selected Atm Strategy. Taking one trade works, but I can't reset the order to null to take a second trade. The method GetAtmStrategyMarketPosition("id") doesn't work and gives me an error that this name is not known in this context. I have an Order object _entryLong and it should only take trades when there is no active order or no active atm running. How can i do that from within an indicator?
Thank you for your help!

Hello HappyTrader76,

The AtmStrategyIdentifier has logic to get orders with an atm strategy from an Account object which you may find helpful.

The order variables should be set back to null from the <Account>.OrderUpdate() or <Account>.ExecutionUpdate event handler method once the exit order has filled.

Thank you Chelsea B for the quick response. Actually setting back the variables to null is exactly what I want to do but I couldn't figure out how to do that. I was thinking something like: if _orderId.Length > 0 && MarketPosition.Flat then _orderId = string.Empty and _entryLong = null. I don't know how to identify if the order filled was an exit order when the stoploss was hit or if it was the profit target. Any help here would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hello HappyTrader76,

From the <Account>.OrderUpdate event you could check the order.OrderAction for OrderAction.Sell or OrderAction.BuyToCover which would be an exit order. The order.OrderType would let you know if this is OrderType.Limit or OrderType.StopMarket.
You could also check the order.Name to be 'Stop1', 'Stop2', 'Target1', 'Target2', etc.
