Listen on Order Grid

[JakeOfSpades]

Hey NinjaTrader, is there any way to listen on the default Orders grid and get the order name, strategy name, fill price, quantity etc with Ninjascript?

Hello, thanks for writing in. You can use an Addon style account object to subscribe to the OrderUpdate event method of the account. There is no way to subscribe to the Orders grid though, you will need to set up an Account object for each account you want to listen to for Order events:

Thanks Chris, how would I get the Strategy Name / Display Name from an Order that happened on the subscribed account?

Hi Jake, the information like the Singnal Name and the name of the strategy is contained solely within the strategy memory and is not stored anywhere at the account level. Unfortunately, there is no way of getting this information that is supported. You can try to look through the properties of the StrategyBase collection that is given to the Account object to see the data that can be accessed from there:
