OnOrderUpdate states

[dadarara]

which state is the right one to catch and use for the assignment of order name.
OrderState.Working
OrderState.Submitted

My initial thought is "working" so I know it was accepted without issues.

Hello dadarara,

Thank you for your note.

When you refer to the order name, are you referring to the signal name or are you referring to assigning the order to an order object?

The orders signal name is assigned when submitted, see enter long section of our helpguide,

Whereas the order object can be assigned in the OnOrderUpdate,

I look forward to your reply.

I am asking about the order object assigned in OnOrderUpdate,

if i use :

if (order.Name == "myEntryOrder")
entryOrder = order;

it means that every state the OnOrderUpdate is called ( submitted, accepted etc...) is is assigned over and over again.
I am actually asking if that has any negative aspects to it ?
and maybe its better :

if (order.Name == "myEntryOrder" && order.OrderState == OrderState.Working)
entryOrder = order;

and if so, is it better to use OrderState.Submitted ?

Hello dadarara,

There is no issue assigning the entry order on each OnOrderUpdate, as long as you uniquely name your entries. Limiting its assignment only when state.submitted would not be suggested.
