OnOrderUpdate() doc needs to be updated as API parameters have changed

[carnitron]

Doc is here:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/NT%20HelpGuide%20English.html?accountitemeventargs.htm

Instead of all this:

protected override void OnOrderUpdate(Order order, double limitPrice, double stopPrice, int quantity , int filled, double averageFillPrice, OrderState orderState, DateTime time, ErrorCode error, string comment)

the function signature for OnOrderUpdate is now this:

void OnOrderUpdate(object sender, OrderEventArgs e)

and there are parameters in OrderEventArgs like ServerName and StatementDate that are undocumented. Although hopefully I am just missing something.

Cheers.

Hello carnitron,

It looks like you are confusing two different topics here.

You have Strategy based OnOrderUpdate override: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ghtsub=onorder

or

Account based OrderUpdate event: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...rderupdate.htm

These are the same concept but two different base classes and use cases. Strategies use the OnOrderUpdate override and are passed in updates about orders which that strategy submitted. An account has the OrderUpdate event which also has the same event args but is for all orders on the account and is unrelated to any specific strategy. The account based OrderUpdate uses the OrderEventArgs which contains the same items you see in the strategy based override, the strategy based override is simplified and only includes the specific properties for the order update.

You can use any strategy based information or samples which use OnOrderUpdate to better understand which properties can be used inside the OnOrderUpdate events. There are some undocumented properties, if the property is not documented that generally means it is not intended to be used.

You can see an example of how you would use the account based OrderUpdate event here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...OrderEventArgs

Thank you for pointing out that there are two versions of this call. I'm not really confused about how to use any of this, I'm a professional software engineer, and this all pretty standard stuff. The issue is that there's no doc for the OrderEventArgs object, and some of the fields that are in that object are not among the parameters passed into the strategy object.

I've gotta run, and can elaborate further later. Cheers.
