    None, return will not the code pass down inside the method. You are getting confused of how the code is executed. The entry point is always the event that is called, in this case it is OnExecutionUpdate. It can also be OnStateChanged, OnBarUpdat etc. From there the code is read following the method calls inside the main even handler ie. OnBarUpdate etc. So the main point is that the code is not read from up to down like a book, it is read in a logical execution procedure.

    When the return is called it takes us out from the method where the return keyword was located, in this case return is located inside the event handler itself therefore the return will take us out of it back into NinjaTrader api.
