onOrder

This callback function gets called whenever ActiveTick receives a response from a trading broker to previously placed order.

onOrder(order, orderResults);

order

Instance of Order object filled with details about the order.

orderResults

Instance of OrderResults object filled with result details about the order.

This callback is useful to receive status indications wether the order placement has successfully been processed, or if it has failed.

The following example demonstrates the use of onOrder() callback function.

function start()

{

//retrieve short positions for all symbols

var account = getAccount();

var placeLongOrder = false;

//determine whether a long order needs to be placed

if(placeLongOrder)

{

var rc = account.placeMarketOrder(getSymbol(),

parseFloat(getParameter("Default Trading Size")),

ACTIONTYPE_BUY,

TIFTYPE_DAY);

}

function onOrder(order, orderResults)

{

//process order results

if(getSymbol() != order.getSymbol())

return;

if(orderResults.getErrors().length == 0)

{

//order was placed successfully

}

else

{

//order failed

}
