OnExecutionUpdate not triggering

[waltFX]

I have a complex strategy and need to use the "OnExecutionUpdate".

I use the standard "enterLong", "exitLong" etc...

Even though I get orders, the "OnExecutionUpdate" is NOT being triggered.

To test further, I added the following to the sampleMA to check the "OnExecutionUpdate" calls and do not get anything although I do have orders:

protected override void OnExecutionUpdate(Execution execution, string executionId, double price, int quantity, MarketPosition marketPosition, string orderId, DateTime time)
{
Print("execution.Order.name " + execution.Order.Name + Time[0].ToString());
}

What setting needs to be added to get this to trigger??

Note: This is running against data down-loaded from IB and is also running on an IB paper account...

Thanks!

Hello, thanks for writing in. There is no setting for the OnExecutionUpdate event. It will be called if you override in in your script properly. There is an example linked here that you should test first and see if you are able to run this on your installation:

If you are able to run this script with no issue, look at the source code for the proper implementation of this event from within the Strategy class.

OnExecutionUpdate would also not be called for orders placed from outside of the strategy (manually placed orders, orders placed by other strategies). To get updates on the account you would need to set up an Account object as shown here:
