Assigning entry price to variable

[tyler_cooney85]

When I enter a position, I would like to assign that specific average entry price to a variable. If I later add to that position, I would like assign that specific average entry price to a different variable. I'm hoping to be able to do this in strategy builder but If we need to hard-code it, so be it.

Example:

1) Enter a short position @ 5460.00

2) Variable ShortEntry1 = 5460.00

3) Add to that position @ 5450.75

4) Variable ShortEntry2 = 5450.75

How can we do this?

Hello tyler_cooney85,

Thank you for your post.

If you want a specific fill price of specific entries, you'd need to work from OnExectionUpdate() which would require unlocking the code. From OnExecutionUpdate() you can obtain the execution.Price. Please see the documentation below.
