stop market order unmanaged true

[suprsnipes]

Hi, I would like to confirm the following;

Using unmanaged = true and ChangeOrder().

I am attempting to modify a stop market order which is set to a price of which I would like to update to a market order, essentially this it intended to be a variation of ExitOnClose().

What is standard practice to ensure that this order is sent as a market order, to be filled at any price. Currently when using the following does not work and in fact cancels the order;
ChangeOrder(StopOrder1, 1, 0, 0);

However if I set a price of which works some kind of offset is required to ensure the order gets filled although I would prefer to send the order for this strategy to exit immediately at whatever price, if that is my only option I will work with that instead.
ChangeOrder(StopOrder1, 1, GetCurrentBid()+3*TickSize);

Regards, suprsnipes.

Hello suprsnipes,

Thanks for your post.

ChangeOrder would be used to move an order and would not be used to replace an order with a different order type.

In this case, I would suggest cancelling the order with CancelOrder, checking for the cancellation in OnOrderUpfdate when that order's OrderState is OrderState.Cancelled, and then to submit your market order with SubmitOrderUnmanaged.

We look forward to assisting.
