OnExecutionUpdate Get Entry Price

[thereyoflite1]

Hello,

I am trying to get the entry price of my positions to store as a double to use elsewhere in my code. This is what I have right now:

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


This code is doing as intended and giving me the average fill price. The issue is on candles where the execution is a profit target or a stop loss, or a profit target and an entry. See image:

With the code I am currently using, the double breakeven price will calculate as the profit target or stop loss when that is the execution type, and on candles with both entries and stop losses will trigger as either. How can I tell OnExecutionUpdate to change breakevenprice only when the execution type is long or short? And not profit targets, stop losses, or exits on session closes?

Thanks

Hello thereyoflite1,

Thank you for your post.

Are you keeping track of your entry orders using a variable like illustrated in SampleOnOrderUpdate here:

If you are, you could check to see if the Order associated with the Execution is an entry order and update the double breakeven price accordingly so it would not change if the order is another order type like a stop or an exit on session close order.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Thank you,

I was able to resolve this by setting breakevenprice equal to averagefill when the entry is "mystring" in the OnOrderUpdate section.
