Changing Stop/target values in Control Center while Strategy running

[zoltran]

I am trying to adjust stop values manually while a strategy is running ..
(why ... because I'm trying to over-ride my strats logic ... don't ask:shock: )

I'm doing this using the orders tab in CC, and in a DOM. DOesn't matter.

The change takes.. and I see the stop adjusted in TWS, but it's immediately reset back to the original value.

The Strategy dynamically updates stops once a bar (not every tick) and the the setstoploss code is in OnBarUpdate. I have print statements in my code when it adjusts the stoploss, and I'm pretty sure it's not my code 'reseting' the stop back.

Is this reseting expected?

Simple answer: yes :-)

Right now there is no concept of manually overwritten strategry order settings. We have it on our list of future enhancements though.
