Order.state return the number 32

[KingSerk]

nQty = Math.round(100000/open(0));
orderID = Trade.buyMarket({qty: nQty});
orderState = Order.state ( orderID ); 

This returns:
orderState - 32
orderID - 9b26bfd9002c48c7a941c2aebb403cb4

What am I doing wrong?

Can someone help me with this please? I'm following the guides and not getting anywhere.

Cheers

Try something like the following where the argument “o” is your Order.state(orderID).

function GET_ORDER_STATE(o) {
switch(o) {
case Order.STATE_PARTIALFILL :
return "STATE_PARTIALFILL";
case Order.STATE_PLACING :
return "STATE_PLACING";
case Order.STATE_CANCELING :
return "STATE_CANCELING";
case Order.STATE_UPDATING :
return "STATE_UPDATING";
case Order.STATE_FILLED :
return "STATE_FILLED";
case Order.STATE_CANCELED :
return "STATE_CANCELED";
case Order.STATE_REJECTED :
return "STATE_REJECTED";
case Order.STATE_WORKING :
return "STATE_WORKING";
default:
return "Unknown ORDERSTATE";
}
}

Hello KingSerk,

This is a valid behavior. Order states are represented by an enumeration where each state corresponds to a number. You can use your variable 'orderState' further in the code and compare it to state constants, e.g.:

Code:
---------
if (orderState == Order.STATE_PLACING)
{
// do something
}
---------
If you want to see the string representation of your variable you can write an additional function and use it. It can be as follows:

Code:
---------
function toStr(orderState)
{
if (orderState == Order.STATE_PLACING) return "PLACING";
if (orderState == Order.STATE_WORKING) return "WORKING";
if (orderState == Order.STATE_REJECTED) return "REJECTED";
if (orderState == Order.STATE_CANCELED) return "CANCELED";
if (orderState == Order.STATE_PARTIALFILL) return "PARTIALFILL";
if (orderState == Order.STATE_FILLED) return "FILLED";
if (orderState == Order.STATE_CANCELING) return "CANCELING";
if (orderState == Order.STATE_UPDATING) return "UPDATING";
return "UNKNOWN";
}
---------
And use it in your code:

Code:
---------
nQty = Math.round(100000/open(0));
orderID = Trade.buyMarket({qty: nQty});
orderState = Order.state ( orderID );
debugPrintln("Current state: " + toStr(orderState));
---------

I feel silly! Thanks odgo! Thanks Avery! Much appreciated!
