getting order state and modifying order in multicharts.net (C#)

[Sasha345]

Hello All,

I'm writing strategy for multicharts.net and can't find any example of getting order state, if it is open or filled. Also I need to modify existing limit and stop orders, how I can do it?

Read MC.Net's Guide on strategy, everything is in there. The .NET object implements IOrder(s) from TradeManager

I did a small test creating an order
longOrder = OrderCreator.Stop(new SOrderParameters(Contracts.Default, "Long open", EOrderAction.Buy));
and then sending it
longOrder.Send(40);
it was never executed, what is the problem? the market orders are executed during the backtest, but not stop orders.

I've never used multicharts but looks like you have Contracts.Default and then longOrder.Send(40)

After several experiment I understand that orders are active only during one bar. And found the place where it is written in 4.6.9 . Very interesting is it possible to send a GTC order? That order can be executed even if I have some internet connection problems.
