Print Statement out of SetStopLoss and SetProfitTarget

[AdeptistJune]

When using print statement in a strategy, how do I get the output to show time of execution of the trade, price, and if I'm using SetStopLoss and SetProfitTarget, to show the exit of the trade as well?

Thanks.

Hello AdeptistJune,

You would need to use a manually coded strategy and OnExecutionUpdate.

You can filter for orders by looking for orders with specific names, for the set methods you can view the order names in the control center to see how they are spelled for those type of targets.

Hello Jesse,

I'm having a hard time understanding. Can you provide a sample code snippet? Thanks.

Hello AdeptistJune,

In your strategy you would need to add the OnExecutionUpdate override, that is shown in the help guide:

protected override void OnExecutionUpdate(Execution execution, string executionId, double price, int quantity, MarketPosition marketPosition, string orderId, DateTime time)
{
Print(execution.ToString());
}

After adding that to the strategy you could observe any fills related to that specific strategy using the execution object as shown above. To print the time you would do:

Print(execution.Time);
