GetAtmStrategyEntryOrderStatus() - clarification needed about the order state

[trendisyourfriend]

Hi Support or whoever can answer my question,

The method GetAtmStrategyEntryOrderStatus() returns a string[] array holding three elements that represent average fill price, filled amount and order state.

Is it possible to enumerate all of the strings the 'order state' can contain? I have not been able to find this information in the doc.

Hello trendisyourfriend,

Thank you for your post.

You could create an enum to hold all the order state options, yes:

However, it's probably simpler to simply check order states by strings.

A class that emulates enum behaviour but using string instead of int can be created as follows...

public class MyOrderState
{
private string _stateKeyWord;

private MyOrderState(string stateKeyWord)
{
_stateKeyWord = stateKeyWord;
}

public override string ToString()
{
return _stateKeyWord;
}

public static MyOrderState Initialized = new MyOrderState("Initialized");
public static MyOrderState Submitted = new MyOrderState("Submitted");
public static MyOrderState Accepted = new MyOrderState("Accepted");
public static MyOrderState Working= new MyOrderState("Working");
// further order states would need to be added

}

.
You could then use this to compare to the order state:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
string[] entryOrder = GetAtmStrategyEntryOrderStatus("orde rId");

// Check length to ensure that returned array holds order information
if (entryOrder.Length > 0)
{
Print("Average fill price is " + entryOrder[0].ToString());
Print("Filled amount is " + entryOrder[1].ToString());
Print("Current state is " + entryOrder[2].ToString());

if (entryOrder[2].ToString() == MyOrderState.Initialized)
{
// do something
}
}
}

Thanks Kate,

I think i have not been clear enough. You have identified these potential states:
Initialized, Submitted, Accepted, Working

But what i meant in my first post was how many potential states an order can go through?
I would like to know all their name.

Thanks
