How to modify limit price of an Order and handle Partail Fills

[Ash101]

Hi,

If I submitted an order using EnterLongLimit() with limit price and meanwhile the market has moved higher and I wan to change the limit price to a higher number. How do I do that. Is there a ModifyOrder function available ? or do I have to first cancel that order and then re-enter a new one with new price ?

Another question is on Partail Fill.
If my order quantity was 5 and I only got a fill for 3. How do I cancel the 2 unfilled contracts which were not filled and I do not want to wait for them to fill ? Will the Profit Target and Stop Loss still work for the 3 contracts that were actually got filled ?

Thanks,

-Ash

Hello Ash101,

With the managed approach you can just call the EnterLongLimit again with the same signal name to update the existing order. This would be similar to creating a trailing stop. If you moved to the unmanaged approach in that case there is a specific ChangeOrder method that would be used.

To cancel orders, we have a sample that covers that topic here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...thod_to_ca.htm

The stop and target will submit for the partial fill and how that is handled will relate to your Stop & target submission property (see How to close a position)
https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...htsub=perentry To avoid any of the partial fill situations you can instead use the concept from the scaling example and submit multiple entry orders which equate to the position. each entry would have its own set of targets and would not have the potential to partial fill.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
