'  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'  LONG EXIT ORDERS
If instrument.position = LONG THEN
  '  Protective Exit Price
  LongEx = instrument.RoundTick(Max(UpTrend, SellLine))
 
  '  Update Risk Basis Property
  instrument.SetExitStop(LongEx)
 
  '  Update Protective Exit Indicator
  StopPrice = LongEx
 
  '  Assemble Order's Rule Details
  sRuleLabel = "Lx@" + instrument.PriceFormat(StopPrice - PriceAdj) +"s,"
 
  '  Send Order to Market
  broker.ExitAllUnitsOnStop(LongEx)
 
  '  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  '  When Broker Order Exist,...
  If system.OrderExists() THEN
    '  Apply Order Detail To Trade Information
    order.SetRuleLabel( sRuleLabel )
     
    '  Apply Order Details To Order Information
    order.SetOrderReportMessage( sRuleLabel )
  ENDIF '  OrderExists

ENDIF '  i.Position = LONG

'  Printing order.ruleLabel after assignment:

Print "order.ruleLabel = ", order.ruleLabel

Results:

order.ruleLabel = Lx@100.35s

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.
