State Transition

[klaus w]

Dear All,
I have a strategy which uses a Exit Order which is in the market while in historical state. I like to cancel this order during transition to realtime because in realtime I have some slight different criteria for the exit.
What I noticed now is:
- Trying to cancel the exit order during state.transition crashes NT8 because it does not have the reference to the order object any more
- geting the new object reference through GetRealtimeOrder in state.realtime and then canceling the order works fine

My question now is:
What is the sequence in which the states are gone through?
I would like to cancel my order before I get to state.realtime because I fear that it is send to the broker and causing fees.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Klaus

Hello Klaus,

Below I am including a link to the help guide on OnStateChange that has a description for when each state will trigger.

http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/onstatechange.htm

The order of these depends on what is happening as the order will be different depending on what is going on.

In the case of Historical to Realtime, this will go from State.DataLoaded, to State.Historical, to State.Transition, to State.Realtime.

Hello Chelsea,
thanks, but I know that help guide. As I said, to cancel the order in state.transition did crash NT8.Seems I have to get the new ID already in trasition state.
Thanks,
Klaus
