New aproach: How to know the time of an entry order, even if I restart NT8 ?

[Eros Lima]

Hello everyone,

I need to know how to obtain the time of last entry order, even if I restart the NT8 or the desktop.

I´m looking to use this information direct in my strategy. So, I need a instance that I can handling a DateTime variable. And the trade is not close: we just have the entry order.
The final goal is to obtain MAE and MFE of the present position and the trade are not closed.

All sugestions are welcome !!

Hello Eros Lima,

Thanks for your post.

You could consider saving the time (Time[0]) to a DateTime variable when the order is submitted.

Or, you could consider saving the execution time to a variable by tracking the order in OnExecutionUpdate() and saving the time to a variable when the OrderState == OrderState.Filled.

Note that the strategy would have to reprocess the order again if you restart NinjaTrader or the PC.

See this help guide page for information about OnExecutionUpdate(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...tionupdate.htm

And, see this reference sample demonstrating the use of OnExecutionUpdate(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...and_onexec.htm

This thread will also be open to other community members to share their insights on the topic.

I'd use StreamWriter to save the info, then StreamReader to retrieve it.
