4{
5    private Account account;
6    private Order entryOrder;
7
8    public MyAddOnTab()

13
14        if (account != null)
15        {
16            entryOrder = account.CreateOrder(Cbi.Instrument.GetInstrument("AAPL"), OrderAction.Buy, OrderType.Market,
17                TimeInForce.Day, 1, 0, 0, string.Empty, "Entry", null);
18
19            // Submits our entry order with the ATM strategy named "myAtmStrategyName"
