GetOwnerStrategy()

[martyn73]

In an indicator, I'm showing a visual on the Chart Panel related to working orders. But it should only happen when a working order is associated with an Atm Strategy. To identify this I'm using the following logic:

if(order.GetOwnerStrategy() != null)
if(order.GetOwnerStrategy().Name != null)
if(order.GetOwnerStrategy().Name=="AtmStrategy")
// do stuff

Is the GetOwnerStrategy() method the best way to find out if an order is associated with an Atm Strategy? If so, are there other default NT values that this method might return instead of "AtmStrategy"?

Thanks.

Hello martyn73,

Thanks for your post.

GetOwnerStrategy() is not documented and behavior may be subject to change, but it appears that you can use the method as you have described. Through testing, this will return the name of a NinjaScript strategy if the order belongs to a NinjaScript strategy. Manual orders which do not have an owning strategy will not have a print here.

You should be able to move forward using this method, but as a reminder, please be sure to check the functionality with new updates as this method is not locked into documentation.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
