Thanks Glitch.

Well, you're not going to know on the current, PlaceTrade bar if the trade was taken, but you can certainly query the backtester as to whether or not the trade occurred on the following bar.

CODE:
      public override void Execute(BarHistory bars, int idx)
      {
         if (HasOpenPosition(bars, PositionType.Long))
         {
            WriteToDebugLog(LastOpenPosition.EntryBar + "=entryBar  "
               + LastOpenPosition.EntryDateString + "=entryDate");
         }
      }

Hi,
Yes, this works!
I am wondering the meaning of IsCompleted
in the Transaction object.
Thanks!

IsCompleted is real-only property used internally to enable edits for orders.
