Requesting clarification on SampleOnOrderUpdate code

[markdshark]

Hi there. I have a question about the very last few lines of this sample code provided. Here is the code:

// Reset our stop order and target orders' Order objects after our position is closed. (1st Entry) <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ?
if ((stopOrder != null && stopOrder == execution.Order) || (targetOrder != null && targetOrder == execution.Order)){

if (execution.Order.OrderState == OrderState.Filled || execution.Order.OrderState == OrderState.PartFilled){

stopOrder = null;
targetOrder = null;

}

}

My question is about the parenthesized bit at the end of the comment "(1st Entry)". I'm trying to understand how the code flows if say my order quantity is 2 orders, both with the same stoploss level set but for one of which I have set a target takeprofit.

The second line appears to nullify the stopOrder object if the first takeprofit is hit but there's still a stop remaining.

Hello markdshark,

Thanks for your post.

If you have an order quantity of two, one order with a stop and target and the second order will only a stop, you would need to create a separate Stop order object for the script that has only a stop and no target, such as stopOrder2, so that the separate Stop order object remains after the stopOrder and targetOrder were set to null.

Let me know if I may assist further.
