EnterShortStopLimit numbers off and order cancelling

[ballboy11]

I finished my logic on EnterShortStopLimit and I am perplexed why my numbers are not entering correctly. On the output box vs on the screen are different.

I printed my order before submitting it.
if (MarketPosition.Flat == Position.MarketPosition && entryOrder == null && BarsInProgress == 0)
{
Print("EnterShortStopLimit " + nNumberOfContracts +" " + DEV1[0] + " " + (DEV1[0] + nStopLoss * TickSize) + " MyEntry");
EnterShortStopLimit(nNumberOfContracts, DEV1[0], DEV1[0] + nStopLoss * TickSize, "MyEntry");
}
My limit order is 8827 on the output box is
but the order on the screen is 8832

The second issue :
Minute 1 the order is placed.
Minute 2 order cancels out
Minute 3 the order is placed again.

This is the continuous cycle.

Hi ballboy11, thanks for your question.

I tested an order and got correct results, so there is some bug in whatever is calculating DEV1, consider printing all of the values that lead up to this order being placed.

For the second question, by default, an order is canceled on every bar close and you need to resubmit the order on every bar to keep it alive. If you don't want to do this, you can use the method override that takes the isLiveUntilCancelled boolean:

EnterShortStopLimit(int barsInProgressIndex, bool isLiveUntilCancelled, int quantity, double limitPrice, double stopPrice, string signalName);

Make sure you understand all concepts for advanced order entry. We have this documented here:

I think I might of found my issue. Thank you for the second question being answered. I need to verify the 2 prices posted.
double limitPrice,
double stopPrice



I noticed on my data the 8832 price is my order entry price that is filled.
May you explain to me the difference between the LimitPrice and the Stop Price in this funtion.

I understand what a limit order is and a stop order but this function StopLimit is confusing me.

Hi ballboy11, thanks for your reply.

Pulling a definition from the internet:

The stop price is the price that activates the limit order and is based on the last trade price. The limit price is the price constraint required to execute the order, once triggered.
