too many OnOrderUpdate events

[fingers]

I'm setting a stop loss thats triggering OnOrderUpdate 3 times.

if (order.Name == stopLossName)
dbMsg("set stop loss to " + Math.Round(stopPrice, 2).ToString());

should I filter out the unwanted ones? if so what's the best way?

Why don't you print the OrderState as well?

I bet you each call to OnOrderUpdate will have a different state.

Hello fingers,

OnOrderUpdate is called each time an order managed by a strategy changes state.

The Help Guide page below lists all the states an order can have:

I agree with bltdavid's suggestion of "filtering the unwanted ones" by using a check for OrderState. It's up to you which order state you want the information from.

If you have any further questions, please let us know.
