signalName	A string representing the name of the order. Max 50 characters.

Examples


private Order entryOrder = null; protected override void OnBarUpdate() { // Entry condition if (Close[0] > SMA(20)[0] && entryOrder == null) SubmitOrderUnmanaged(0, OrderAction.Buy, OrderType.Market, 1, 0, 0, "", "Enter Long"); } protected override void OnOrderUpdate(Order order, double limitPrice, double stopPrice, int quantity, int filled, double averageFillPrice, OrderState orderState, DateTime time, ErrorCode error, string nativeError) { // Assign entryOrder in OnOrderUpdate() to ensure the assignment occurs when expected. // This is more reliable than assigning Order objects in OnBarUpdate, as the assignment is not gauranteed to be complete if it is referenced immediately after submitting if (order.Name == "Enter Long" && orderState == OrderState.Filled) entryOrder = order; }

private Order entryOrder = null;

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Entry condition
if (Close[0] > SMA(20)[0] && entryOrder == null)
SubmitOrderUnmanaged(0, OrderAction.Buy, OrderType.Market, 1, 0, 0, "", "Enter Long");
}

protected override void OnOrderUpdate(Order order, double limitPrice, double stopPrice, int quantity, int filled, double averageFillPrice, OrderState orderState, DateTime time, ErrorCode error, string nativeError)
{
// Assign entryOrder in OnOrderUpdate() to ensure the assignment occurs when expected.
// This is more reliable than assigning Order objects in OnBarUpdate, as the assignment is not gauranteed to be complete if it is referenced immediately after submitting
if (order.Name == "Enter Long" && orderState == OrderState.Filled)
entryOrder = order;
