Multiple Entries per same named entry

[eleven]

Hello,

I have multiple entries for the same named entry, "EnterLong(1, "EnL"). This will submit multiple orders, per my strategy, under the same entry name "EnL".

Is there a way to identify specific trades under the same entry name?

Or, put another way...

I have 3 open orders executed via "EnterLong(1, "")". How can I refer to or identify each of the 3 trades separately? Do they each have a unique orderID or trade ID?

Thanks,
eleven

Hello eleven,

Thanks for your post.

There are no means for getting the Unrealized PnL of individual entry orders that were placed. Position.GetUnrealizedProfitLoss could be used to get the Unrealized PNL of the entire strategy position.

If you would like the Unrealized PnL of a single entry order, you would need to calculate this value yourself in your code.

Something you could consider is to calculate that value by using either the Close price at the time of the entry or the entry's average price, then calculate that value from the current Close price.

Let me know if I may assist further.

Thanks Brandon. Does each entry order have a unique ID? How can I identify each order entered? Multiple entry orders have same entry name in my strategy.

Hello eleven,

Thanks for your note.

You could consider tracking orders in OnExecutionUpdate or OnOrderUpdate. However, it would likely be easier to provide a unique signal name for each unique entry you wanted to track.

See this reference sample which demonstrates using OnExecutionUpdate and OnOrderUpdate: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...and_onexec.htm

Also, see the help guide documentation below.
