Cancel Setprofittarget

[Pourleau]

Hi,

If I have a long position and enter two OCO orders via SetProfitTarget() and SetStopLoss(), is it possible to then later cancel the profit target limit order but leave the stop order in place?
At a certain point I would like to be able to cancel the target limit order but not the stop.
- thanks

No.SetProfitTarget() orders cannot be canceled. You have 2 choices: use explicit exit orders, linked to the entry, in which case, you can cancel the order; or reset the SetProfitTarget() to a very large number which cannot be met, thus effectively making it non-existent.

Hello Pourleau,

Thank you for your note.

As Koganam mentioned the Set() methods cannot be cancelled, however using your own Exit() methods and IOrder objects you can cancel an Exit() order. Or as Koganam mentioned set the Set() method to a high value that is out of range.

For a sample on monitoring Set() methods, which can be used to then adjust them, please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=5790

Please let me know if you have any questions.
