Checking for an Unfilled Sell Order in a Backtest

Summary

The document explains a backtesting context method that checks whether a sell order for a specified security remains unfilled. The method takes the security symbol as its argument and returns a Boolean value indicating whether an order is still awaiting execution.

The question also asks where to find a complete list of context properties, but the response does not provide that documentation location. Its explanation is limited to this one method and an example using a stock symbol; it gives no details about order states beyond the fill check, nor any broader guidance on order management or execution behavior.

Key ideas

• The context object exposes a method for checking an unfinished sell order.
• The method takes a security symbol as an argument.
• Its Boolean result indicates whether the order has been matched or remains unfilled.
• The response does not explain where to find a full list of context properties.
