Check if OrderName contains a string

[chbruno]

Hi there,

I have multiple entry /exit points. Each signal name is unique, "EMA"+CurrentBar, "MACD"+CurrentBar and so on.

Is there any way to check if I have any EMA order open, searching by the string name?

Something like, if the order name contains "EMA", do something.

I'm just trying to find a way to match the order based on a substring.

Thank you

Hello chbruno,

Thank you for your post.

First, to find a signal name, you will need to save your entries as an Order object.

For example,

Order myOrder = EnterLong( 1, "mySignal" );

Print(myOrder.Name);

Print(myOrder.FromEntrySignal);

Then, you can use String.Contains() to see if the signal name contains "EMA".
