GetRealtimeOrder() and OrderState.Filled

[nicbizz]

Hi,

Correct me if I'm wrong but if an order object (entryLong for example) is OrderState.Filled in State.Historical, using

GetRealtimeOrder(entryLong)

during the State == State.Realtime will return a "null" value for entryLong.


I realized this very belatedly, and ended up coding a bunch of stuff that relies on

if (entryLong != null)

to run a bunch of code, even after the order has filled.


This worked wonderfully during backtest and on historical charts, but ran into obvious issues during live trading.

Is there a way to force GetRealtimeOrder(entryLong) to not return a null value for OrderState.Filled? Or does anyone have some thoughts on how to workaround this?

Last resort is to change all code that relies on "if (entryLong != null)", a prospect that I'm not relishing as its quite a bit!

Thanks in advance.

Hello nicbizz,

You could use GetRealtimeOrder() and if it returns null not assign the order to the variable.

if (GetRealtimeOrder(order) != null)
entryLong = GetRealtimeOrder(order);

Or

entryLong = GetRealtimeOrder(order) != null ? GetRealtimeOrder(order) : entryLong;

Oh wow, this worked brilliantly.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! You have no idea how I relieved I am not having to redo a big swath of code.
