Support for the development of custom indicators using NinjaScript.

Are you trying to achieve this in a NinjaScript Strategy that is placing the orders, or are you counting all orders to an Account object including manually placed orders?

OrderUpdate

I'm primarily focused on manually placed orders.

Hello itrade4food,

This would use the Addon approach to detect manually placed orders.
You could have a List<order> object with orders added in the <Account>.OrderUpdate event handler method when the OrderState is Accepted or Working and removed when the order is Cancelled, Filled, or Rejected. The list Count would be the number of active orders. Or you could have an integer that is incremented and decremented.
