how to check if an async order is still executing

Hi xabbu,

You can use a callback if you want to be notified when an order has been executed. See below

public TradeOperation ExecuteMarketOrderAsync(TradeType tradeType, string symbolName, double volume, [optional] Action callback)

Dear Panagiotis,

yes thank you very much, I have done so and I get the correct messages, if an operation is ended successful or with an error. Works like a charm!

But I`m adressing the meantime, BEFORE the callback comes back with a result. I need to know if an operation is ongoing to decide, if another trade is initiatetd.

Best regards,

Hi xabbu,

I am not sure what are you trying to address here. If the callback has not been called, then the operation is not executed yet. If you need to make decisions after the trade has been executed, then don't make then unless the callback has been called.

Best Regards,

Thank you very much, Panagiotis - I think I have found a way to prevent multiple execution due to the speed of the ...async functionality.

Do you mind sharing your solution to this?

Hi,

This might help you:

using cAlgo.API;

namespace NewcBot
{
    [Robot(AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewcBot : Robot
    {
        private TradeOperation _operation;

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            // Execute a new market order only if there is no ongoing operation
            if (_operation == null)
            {
                _operation = ExecuteMarketOrderAsync(TradeType.Buy, SymbolName, Symbol.VolumeInUnitsMin, ExecuteMarketOrderCallback);
            }
        }

        private void ExecuteMarketOrderCallback(TradeResult result)
        {
            _operation = null;

            // use result for getting the opened position
            // or error if there was any
        }
    }
}
