Each order created is assigned a reference ID number so the order can be accessed when needed.  The number is assigned as part of the order's creation

 

Syntax:

Print order.referenceID

 

Parameter:

Description:

none

Property will return the order's assigned number when it is accessed after it has been created.

 

Returns:

The number assigned to the most recent order created.

 

 

Example:

'  To get the order number of the most recent order created
Print order.referenceID

 

Returns:

Number of the order just created.

 

Alternate Order Object:

Access to Order Object properties and functions in other scripts is made possible by using the AlternateOrder Object as the prefix ahead of the "." property or function. AlternateOrder Object is discussed below.

 

Notes:

Always check to be sure the order is available after a Broker function call using the system.orderExists() function prior to accessing it.

 

Using the alternateOrder object when orders are not in context will provide the same access as the Order object.  However, the alternateOrder object must be brought into context using the system.SetAlternateOrder object function prior to any attempt to use is properties and functions.

 

Once orders are brought into context their properties and function are available to reference and changes.
