Strategy opens a null order

[tkaboris]

Hi i have a strategy that opens a null limit order and i dont know how to debug it and dont understand why it is doing it.

my Entry condition

if(shortPrice <= GetCurrentBid() && entryOrderS == null && profitTargetS == null && stopLossS == null)
                {
                entryOrderS        = placeHolderOrderS;
                suppressOcoS    = false;
                EnterShortStopMarket(0,true, PositionSize, shortPrice,"MyEntryShort");
                    
                }​

As soon as I enter I print entryOrder
Print("entryOrder"+entryOrder);

and iN output I get null entryorder entryOrder and order seems like staying in strategy and not taking more trades. Usually strategy takes order and prints full order details but sometimes i get this.

Hello tkaboris,

The code you provided does not contain a variable named entryOrder and I also don't see your print included in that code.

To assign an order to a variable you would need to use OnOrderUpdate, you can see an example of that concept in the help guide link below.
