Losing data between OnOrderUpdate and OnBarUpdate
I have a class variable called currentTrade that I fill out when an order is updated. The variable is a structure holding things like the entry price, direction, stop loss price and limit price. When OnOrderUpdate executes and an order is filled, I fill out these accordingly. For example: this.currentTrade.entryPrice = order.AverageFillPrice; Problem is, when execution returns to OnBarUpdate, the currentTrade structure variables are all unchanged from the initial values defined before the program starts. Why would this be? How do I solve this problem?Tags: None

Hello dweems,
Thank you for your post.
It's possible that when you're calling the variable in OnBarUpdate(), OnOrderUpdate() hasn't yet had an update so the variable hasn't been updated either. These methods are triggered from different threads so they don't happen sequentially.
I recommend you use prints to see exactly when the value is assigned to it in OnOrderUpdate(). You can print the time of the bar (OnOrderUpdate also has a time parameter that tells you the last time the order changed state), and whether the update is happening in OnOrderUpdate() or OnBarUpdate().
Debugging using Prints - https://support.ninjatrader.com/s/article/Developer-Guide-Debugging-using-Print-and-TraceOrders

Please let us know if you have any further questions.Gaby V.NinjaTrader Customer Service
