QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Hello,
I am having difficulty figuring out how to get the price at which a security was liquidated. For example, how can I get the price at which SPY was liquiidated to do with that price whatever I want (Like sending market orders at that price)?
Any help would be highly appreciated!

Hi Marvin,
After using Liquidate() or SetHoldings(), we can get the order ID of the market order submitted with
last_o_id = self.Transactions.LastOrderIdNext, we can get the average fill price of the order with
fill = self.Transactions.GetOrderTicket(last_o_id).AverageFillPriceAlthough, we actually recommend using a different, faster technique to submit orders and retrieve the fill price. Instead of using Liquidate() and SetHoldings(), we can use CalculateOrderQuantity to determine our position size and then issue market orders directly. Market orders return an OrderTicket after their construction, which allow us to immediately get the fill price of the order.
Here's a quick example:
if self.Securities['SPY'].Invested: target = 0 else: target = 1 quantity = self.CalculateOrderQuantity("SPY", target) ticket = self.MarketOrder("SPY", quantity) fill = ticket.AverageFillPriceSee the attached backtest which shows the full solution file. For more information on ordering in this way is new, review our Trading and Orders documentation. For future reference, I recommend utilizing the LEAN documentation to search the classes and their properties/methods when trying to access specific data.
Best,
