Bulding an Array Variable for Multiple Order

[Tranbo]

Hi, I'm learning C# and NinjaTrader, I need few suggestion from the Pros. Using this great sample for my study project SampleOnOrderUpdate_NT7.zip

--this sample only submitted one order at a time and I would like to build a script with 3 orders or more with different entry price.

I need suggestion on how to submit 3 order using this example code...Other then copy and paste the same code 3 times.

thanks advance for your suggestion.

Hello Tranbo,

This should not require an array. Yes, you pretty much have to duplicate the structure that's used for the existing entries. You can provide unique names to your multiple entry orders by providing a unique IOrder object name, and unique signal name. You have to duplicate the same structure for each order.

//Variables region
private IOrder entryOrder = null;
private IOrder entryOrder2 = null;

//condition for entry
if (entryOrder2 == null && Close[0] > Open[0])
{

entryOrder2 = EnterLong(1, "MyEntry2");
}

//reset to terminal(null) state when flat or cancelled. Only need one OnOrderUpdate() handler
if (entryOrder2 != null && entryOrder2 == order)
{
// Reset the entryOrder object to null if order was cancelled without any fill
if (order.OrderState == OrderState.Cancelled && order.Filled == 0)
{
entryOrder2 = null;
}
}

simple print code won't compile

// Print NinjaTrader 100 times to the output window
for (int x = 0; x < 100; x++)
{
Print("NinjaTrader");
}


what does it take to get this code above to compile and run? it is just a sample code from the help doc. Every time I tried the error is


"class member declaration is expected''

Print("NinjaTrader");
}

That code compiles for me, when I put it in the OnBarUpdate() or even in the Initialize() method, so your problem must be elsewhere. In what method is your code located?

It is on the top part of a perfectly working script

It looks like you're missing the needed braces for OnBarUpdate() :

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Print NinjaTrader 100 times to the output window
for (int x = 0; x < 100; x++)
{
Print("NinjaTrader");
}
}
