Accessing price of limeit orders

[John833]

Hello, if for example I have an ExitLongStop order working in the market, is it possible to access the price so it can be used in another calculation after its been placed?

Thanks

John833,

You would need to create an IOrder object to store the order and then you can access it to get the price.

ok thanks....

Josh,

Couldn't you also reference the object by name?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Not sure I follow r2kTrader - do you refer to something like this?

myExitLongStop.AvgFillPrice

Hey Bertrand,

Actually I was referring to referencing an order by name rather than using token.

protected overridevoid OnExecution(IExecution execution)
{
if (execution.Order.FromEntrySignal == "blah")
Print(execution.ToString());
}

r2kTrader,

Technically, but you can have multiple executions for the same entry order and to access the accurate information of the whole order you would want to deal with the IOrder directly instead of a single execution.

Josh,

But then you have to manually manage the order.

Can you cancel an order by name without using AOH?

While I think I am back to AOH because I can't get 100% of what I need without it, I would like to give the managed model one more shot before I give up.

Unfortunately you're back to AOH, since you need to refer to an IOrder object to cancel it specifically.
