Hey, I'm trying to use the onOrderEvent function to place a stop loss once the entry order is filled, but for some reason even once the entry gets filled, the stop loss never gets placed, any suggestions?

Hi Shner,
The event happens during your first MarketOrder so it has not returned yet and your variable is still None.
Fetch the order in the your "OrderBook"/Transactions.

So MarketOrders dont return a ticket ? is that what youre saying ?
Fred Painchaud
No. I'm talking about the order of the calls. OnOrderEvent is called before MarketOrder returns.
