execution.Order.GetOwnerStrategy(); returns null

[[email protected]]

Hello. I am calling static methods from OnExecutionUpdate to handle email notification and db logging. I don't want to pass the strategy as a parameter using "this" so I am using execution.Order.GetOwnerStrategy() but it returns null on exiting a position.

thanks

Hello [email protected], and thank you for your question. I couldn't find any documented method called GetOwnerStrategy in the help guide, is this a method you or another programmer wrote?

If you would like a "this" reference available to static calls, you can use a static member such as

private static Strategy self;

You can then assign this to self during State.SetDefaults .

If you would like to do this in another thread (for example, from another strategy), then you will need to use a Dispatcher, publicly available documentation https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...ispatcher.aspx .

Please let us know if there are any other ways we can help.

This is an example of a method signature I am using:

public static void SendMailonExit(Execution execution)
{
var sgn = (execution.Order.OrderAction == OrderAction.BuyToCover ? 1 : -1);
var strategy = execution.Order.GetOwnerStrategy();
var state = strategy.State;
var account = strategy.Account;
var performance = strategy.SystemPerformance;

Hello [email protected],

Thank you for your response.

GetOwnerStrategy() is not a supported method for Order. Any reason you do not wish to pass through "this" for the strategy?

I look forward to your response.

I can use "this" is that is the supported approach.

thanks

You can define your method signature to support any approach you would prefer. A signature that would accept a "this" reference may be

	public static void SendMailonExit(Strategy strategy, Execution execution)

You can then pass "this" in as your first argument, and then have access to the calling strategy via the strategy object.
