Hello,
I have question for the stopMarketOrder. The following is my code in the onData function where it submitted an MaerketOrder and StopMarketOrder together once the entry condition is met. However it looks strange in the backtesting. As you can see from the picture. the MarketOrder and StopMarketOrder filled at the same second, there is more than 0.5 difference for the QQQ data at that specific time point, I am wondering why this can happen? Thanks
public override void OnData(Slice data){
TradeBars bars = data.Bars;
if (entry_cond == true)
{
MarketTicket = MarketOrder(_qqq, -100);
var stopPrice = bars[_qqq].Close + 0.5M;
var newTicket = StopMarketOrder(_qqq, 100, stopPrice);
}
}

Hi Hiteck,
Thank you for your question. The time showed in the image is the placement time, not the filled time. Therefore, it is natural that there is a difference in the prices. If you would like to know the exact filled time, please find the filled order to track its status in OnOrderEvent handler:
def OnOrderEvent(self, orderEvent): order = self.Transactions.GetOrderById(orderEvent.OrderId) self.Debug("{0}: {1}: {2}".format(self.Time, order.Type, orderEvent))For more details, please check out this page. Thank you!
