Order Object

[ChazJ]

In the Order object there is a property called 'ClientID'. I cannot find any reference to it in the Help documentation. It seems to be always set to -1.

Is this used by the NT strategy engine or is it a property I can 'Set' and use in my own strategy?

Thanks,

Hello ChazJ,

Thanks for your question.

As the property is not documented, it is not supported for regular use. I also could not comment on the internal use of the property as it is undocumented. The property has a getter and a setter so it could be assigned, but I would not recommend setting this property for your own purposes as it could interfere with internal functionality.

I would instead recommend creating class level variables to track additional information that you would like tracked with orders. You could, for example, create a dictionary that holds information associated with an order's Order.Id property. Whenever orders are submitted or cancelled/filled, you can add the order Id and associated information to your dictionary, or remove that entry from your dictionary.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
