Is there a way to get the next order id before making an order? For example when starting Sierra Chart I have my orders and positions all cleared. Say the next order I make will be 1029. Is there are way to know that will be the next order so I don't have to start looping from 0?

Problem with GetOrderByIndex is it will return orders only for the current instrument. I would like to be able to access orders not depending on the instrument Also, GetOrderByIndex will not be able to tell me what the next order number will be if all the positions have been cleared.

Can you make a function that will return the next order ID that will be used?

In the latest version we added this function for you to obtain orders for any symbol and Trade Account: GetOrderForSymbolAndAccountByIndex)(const char* Symbol, const char* TradeAccount, int OrderIndex, s_SCTradeOrder& ACSOrderDetails); The Symbol and TradeAccount need to be set to "" in this case.

OK, so here's a situation 1. In NON Simulation placed orders 1, 2 2. In Simulation placed orders 3, 4 3. In NON Simulation placed orders 5, 6 Now I clear Trade Simulation Orders & Data, which will effectively clear orders 3, 4 since they were placed in Simulation mode Will GetOrderForSymbolAndAccountByIndex return at Index 0: Order 1 Index 1: Order 2 Index 2: Order 5 Index 3: Order 6 ??

In general the answer is yes. Sorting can affect the particular ordering, but certainly those would be the returned orders.

Is it possible for gaps to exist, for example Index 0: Order 1 Index 1: NO ORDER Index 2: Order 3 Index 3: Order 4

Thank you. Is it possible to know the last index, so to know the last order that was made? Is there perhaps a size function for this array?

There is no need for that. Just continue to call the function with an incrementing Index until it returns an error. This is the most efficient way.

Yes, but if there if the array is empty, there is no way of telling what the last order id number was.
