Syntax to reference entry order

[AAAlmonte]

Hi there,

I have an if statement that enters a long position when a Condition1 is met. How do I store the entry price of that long position in a variable?

Here is my current code

if(Condition1){
EnterLong(1, "Buy to open");
var entryPrice = Execution.Price;

I want to store the entry price of the position in the variable entryPrice. What is the correct syntax to do this?

Hello AAAlmonte,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

NinjaTrader uses event-driven processes so in your example the order would likely have not even left the platform by the time the next code line is executed where you are wanting to get the price.

What you can do is check to see that you are in a long market position and then pull the entry price from Position.AveragePrice.
