Status of an order?

[timmbbo]

This is surely a FAQ, but I can't find the code. How do I tell if an order is active, current gain/loss, and if closed at a profit or loss? Say I have the code:

SetStopLoss("MyStrat1", CalculationMode.Ticks, 4, false);
SetProfitTarget("MyStrat1", CalculationMode.Ticks, 4);
entryOrder = EnterLongLimit(0, true, 1, Close[0], "MyStrat1");

Then, how can I tell if my order has been activated, how much current gain or loss I have on the active order, and if the order was closed out for a profit, or loss?

Thanks again for your help.

Hello timmbbo,

Thanks for your post.

You can use Position to see if you are in a Long, Short or Flat position. In the helpguide reference is an example that also prints the Unrealized PNL of the active order: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...etposition.htm

After the order has closed (IE: Position is Flat), you can access the trades performance. In the first example shown in the helpguide link you can see how to obtain the last trade value: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...collection.htm

There are other ways to do the same thing and a good reference with a wealth of information in working examples you can download, review, and test are the numerous references samples shown here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...splay.php?f=30
