==Order and Position Tracker==
If an order was generated and sent from the script to a broker plugin, it is displayed in the [[Order_and_Position_Tracker|Order and Position Tracker ]] on the Orders tab. If an order is filled, you can see it's execution price and details (see [[Order and Position TrackerOrder_and_Position_Tracker#Orders_Tab|Orders Tab]]).
<br>
There are 2 possible reasons why an order is not placed at the broker:
# The order was '''rejected''' either by MultiCharts, or by the broker (in most cases, you can find the reason for rejection in the Logs tab of the Order and Position Tracker (see [[Order and Position TrackerOrder_and_Position_Tracker#Logs_Tab|Logs Tab]])
# The order was '''cancelled''' from the script. According to the logic of EasyLanguage/PowerLanguage, an order will be maintained as long as the conditions for its generation are met on each calculation. Once a condition is not met, it will be cancelled.
==Monitoring from Script==
This method is extremely useful not only for backtesting, since the [[Order_and_Position_Tracker|Order and Position Tracker ]] has nothing in common with the historical calculation process, but also for live auto trading because you can see the strategy logic printed out in real-time.
Adding the following line under the same conditions right before the line, when generating your buy/sell orders, will help you to understand at what particular bar, when, and at what price your order is triggered in the code:
<br>
'''end;'''<br>
<br>
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': if If using more than one data series, specify the DataNum for [[BarStatus]].<br/div>
<br>
If the script is applied to your chart and it is opened in the PowerLanguage Editor, you will be able to see the following lines in the Output tab:
