Log/Output showing numerous Cancelled...

[zeller4]

Hello,

I have TraceOrders = true in a managed strat.
Please provide a direction to modify what's producing the following results.
The result in the output window print statements are:

Cancelled custom managed order at ...........

Here is a screenshot:

Here is the screenshot showing numerous entered and ignored lines:

Entered internalPlaceOrder...Ignored PlaceOrder...

What should I look for in my code that is causing this?

Thanks.

Hi Kirk, both can be seen yes. For the first one, are you reversing positons at this point, so the old target becomes obsolete?

For the second one, there is already an order of same price / qty resting, so the subsequent one is ignored (EntryHandling setttings).

The first position had a stop and a target. I'm not reversing but once a condition was met, I cancelled the MyTarget order and allowed the stop only to remain in place to trail. Is this normal behavior to see all these prints? or do I need to adjust where I look "if (targetOrder == null...)" or where I reset "targetOrder = null;"?

For the second case, yes, I have

EntryHandling = EntryHandling.UniqueEntries;

.

Is there a place I need to check with a bool or some other manner to see if it's already been placed? Is the print to output window expected behavior?

thanks.

The trace orders output is generated by NT internally, you could unfortunately not custom trim it as it's the case with regular prints.

If you work with IOrder objects for the entry as well then you could ensure to only place the order if the IOrder is in null / reset state, this should clean up the duplicate / ignored orders part NT caught with the Entry Handling.
