ExexcuteMarketOrder not working properly

The difference is that the old API methods are using asynchronous execution whereas ExecuteMarketOrder uses synchronous execution.

If you want to compare the two you can use ExexcuteMarketOrderAsync which uses asynchronous execution. Bear in mind that if you used OnPositionOpened with Trade.CreateBuyMarketOrder, you will have to define a callback method for ExecuteMarketOrderAsync that will be invoked when the position opens.
For instance:

protected override void OnStart()
{
    ExecuteMarketOrderAsync(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, 10000, "My Label", OnExecuted);
}
 
private void OnExecuted(TradeResult result)
{
    if (result.IsSuccessful)
    {
        Print("Position created entry price: {0}", result.Position.EntryPrice);
    }
    else
    {
        Print("Failed to create position");
    }
}
