Managing orders and accessing their properties

[Skifree]

I've been working on a strategy that updates an order's stop / profit target individually. One thing I struggle with is a simple way to access an order's properties, and change them. I can't seem to find a reliable way to get an order's properties without storing custom class values.

With ATM, I can only create/update but not get the properties by order ID? Without ATM, I can use signals, but I don't know how to find the price paid (after slippage). Is there an ideal way to go about managing orders individually?

Hello Skifree,

Thanks for your post.

You could consider using OnExecutionUpdate() or OnOrderUpdate() to track order objects and get information about those order objects, submit orders, or change orders to a new price.

See the help guide documentation below for more information about these event-driven methods.

OnExecutionUpdate(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...tionupdate.htm
OnOrderUpdate(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...rderupdate.htm

Here is a reference sample demonstrating the use of these methods as well: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...and_onexec.htm
