SubmitOrderUnmanaged vs CreateOrder

[jakjak74]

Hi
Just starting NT8, I don't see well what are the differences between SubmitOrderUnmanaged and CreateOrder. Which one should be used in general?
I noticed after using CreateOrder and account.submit that the method OnOrderUpdate is never called when debugging in Visual Studio. Anything I am missing?

Thanks for the help

Hello jakjak74,

Thank you for your post.

CreateOrder and Account.Submit are intended for use in AddOns. So if someone wanted to build a cusotm order entry window they would utilize CreateOrder and Account.Submit.
SubmitOrderUnmanaged is intended for Automated Strategies that you enable to automatically enter and manage orders and positions.

For the updates of the account in an AddOn rather than the updates for a strategy, please visit the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...ount_class.htm

Please let me know if you have any questions.
