Unmanaged Approach: Can't find stop loss order

[iantriestrading]

My strategy uses unmanaged approach.

In realtime/live, and I can find the stop loss order by id or name "stop loss."
But in strategy analyzer, my stop loss update method always says it cannot find the current stop loss order.
Example: "Warning: Unable to find current stop loss order. OrderId: NT-00001-2182"

Also when I try Print($"Total Orders: {Orders.Count}"); it just shows there are 0 orders even though the strategy should still have a stop loss order open. I'm not sure what is going on. As a result, my strategy has one position open until it's forced closed by the market closing.

How can I manage/update my stop loss order in a way that will be compatible with strategy analyzer?

Do I need to manage an order object locally? Looks like docs say so, but I had not noticed so far since it worked great on sim/live trading. "It is critical to assign an Order object to keep track of your order or else you will not be able to identify it in your code later since there is no signal tracking when using Unmanaged order methods. Please be aware of the following information about Order objects:"

Hello iantriestrading,

Unfortunately, I'm not understanding what is your code.

Can you please create a reduced test script with just the code specific to this inquiry (and no other logic)?

To export a NinjaTrader 8 NinjaScript so this can be shared and imported by the recipient do the following:

1. Click Tools -> Export -> NinjaScript Add-on...
2. Click the 'add' link -> check the box(es) for the script(s) and reference(s) you want to include
3. Click the 'Export' button
4. Enter the script name in the value for 'File name:'
5. Choose a save location -> click Save
6. Click OK to clear the export location message

By default your exported file will be in the following location:

You can assign an order object to a variable from OnOrderUpdate().
