IOrder, what is Token?

[zachj]

Under IOrder what is the difference between

entryOrder.Token == order.Token

and just

entryOrder == order

What does Token do?
I've seen it both way in the sample scripts.

Hi Zachj,

Thank you for your post.

Token will give you the string value of the unique id of the order.

Order will give you all the information pertaining to that order that was submitted.

I suggest using Print() statements to see the values that get printed when calling those two different properties.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hello Cal,

Please can you give me the any example using token in strategy, or do you have any sample strategy which used token.

Thanks
Sameer.

Sameer,

I do not have a sample strategy using that Token.

You typically don't need to use this Token ID for tracking. The IOrder object handling is for that purpose.
