Is AverageFillPrice available after EnterLong?

[kevinenergy]

I'm entering at market with a price-based stoploss. I want to scalp out one contract at 1:1 R/R.

If I EnterLong and hold an order reference, e.g.:

var order = EnterLong();

am I able to immediately access the order.AverageFillPrice property? Or will this be unavailable until the OnOrderUpdate callback?

This is roughly what I want to do:

var stopPrice = DonchianChannel(3).Lower[0];
var scalpEntry = EnterLong(1, "Scalp");
var entryPrice = scalpEntry.AverageFillPrice; // is this value guaranteed to be available at this point?
var target = entryPrice + Math.Abs(entryPrice - stopPrice);
SetProfitTarget("Scalp", CalculationMode.Price, target, false);

Hello kevinenergy,

Thanks for the post.

As long as the Order object is not null it will hold information on the order. It would be recommended to wait for OnOrderUpdate to get any information from the Order object. The order will appear instantly with the Sim101 account, but that behavior could vary while trading live.

Please let me know if I can assist further.
