StopLoss/Profit Targets for Unmanaged Orders

[Mikefra]

Hello, I can successfully place OCO limit orders using the unmanaged methods. However, I'm now working on applying stoploss and profit target orders in place after one of the OCO orders is triggered.

First, how do I determine which of the two OCO limit orders was triggered? One is call AlphaLong and the other is called AlphaShort.

Second, what is the proper syntax for submitting a stoploss and profit target OCO order for my current position?

Thanks

Hello,

You can use an IOrder object to read the name of the order and also check the state of the order:

You can check these orders states in OnOrderUpdate() or OnExecution() to get the most current state of the order.

Please also see our Reference Sample on Using OnOrderUpdate() and OnExecution() methods to submit protective orders:

Please let me know if you need further assistance.
