  if (entryOrder == null && Close[0] > Open[0])
    EnterLongLimit(Close[0] - 1, "myEntryOrder");
}
 
protected override void OnOrderUpdate(Order order, double limitPrice, double stopPrice, int quantity, int filled, double averageFillPrice, OrderState orderState, DateTime time, ErrorCode error, string nativeError)
{
  // assign incoming order
  if (entryOrder == null)
  {
    // check that order matches by signal name, that order is not in terminal state
    if (order.Name == "myEntryOrder" && !Order.IsTerminalState(entryOrder.OrderState))
        entryOrder = order;
  }
 
  if (entryOrder != null && entryOrder == order)
