Trade Execution Price

[reynoldsn]

I am developing a strategy that uses EnterLong() and EnterShort() for trade entries. What is the best event to use to capture the actual trade price? I am particularly interested in getting this to work in Strategy Analyzer.

Hello reynoldsn,

Thank you for your post.

You can check the execution.Price from OnExecutionUpdate().

Please see the Help Guide page below which has sample code.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks, Gaby,
OnExecutionUpdate has the signature:

protected override void OnExecutionUpdate(Execution execution, string executionId, double price, int quantity, MarketPosition marketPosition, string orderId, DateTime time)
{


}

Are the parameters, execution.Price and price the same thing?

Hello,

Yes, these are the same thing. You can test by printing out execution.Price and price.

Print("execution.Price: " + execution.Price + " price: " + price);

Please let us know if you have any further questions.
