Strategy builder - record current state

[space_trader]

hi,

I am using Strategy Builder module and I would like to know how to save (in a user defined variable) the price of an executed order. For example, let's say I submit a Long order. I would like to check the price it executed and save this into a variable (that I can later use).

thanks

Hello space_trader,

Thanks for your post.

You would need to create a double type variable in the Inputs and variables window, in the variables section.

Once you are in position, you can then pull the entry price from Startegy>Position AveragePrice and assign it to the variable you created.

Note: the Position average price would be the average of all current positions in the strategy, however, if you are only entering one contract, it would be the actual entry price.
