I want to pas a tag to an order ticket that is then printed when the order is executed.
tag_str = f'Exit Reason...'
self.MarketOrder(ticker,-qty,tag=tag_str)
When I get the ticket back in the OnOrderEvent the Tag is empty:
def OnOrderEvent(self, orderEvent):
ticket = self.Transactions.GetOrderTicket(orderEvent.OrderId)
if orderEvent.Status == OrderStatus.Filled:
self.Debug(f'{self.Time}: Trade: {ticket.Symbol}, Qty:{ticket.Quantity}, Price:{ticket.AverageFillPrice}. {ticket.Tag}')
The Debug statement does not print out the Tag. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Daniel,
We would use the following syntax to include a tag for a MarketOrder: self.MarketOrder(ticker/symbol, quantity, False, tag string), as named parameters are not yet supported for LEAN. I've shown an example in the attached backtest.
Best,
Shile Wen
