Canceling a submitted order

[nybangali]

Question:
I am submitting a Stop order when Condition X is met. The order submits fine and shows up with a blue "Accept" in the Orders tab. However if Condition Y occurs (before order gets filled), I need to cancel the "accept"-ed order.
How do I do this?

Actually, what I really need to do is - if Condition Y occurs before order gets filled, then update the "accept"ed order with an new Stop value. So either cancel and resubmit, or update existing queued order.

Problem is - I do not know how to find the handle to the pre-submitted order to issue this change (or cancellation)

Hi nybangali,

To cancel orders you need to use CancelOrder(). You can only use that if you have an IOrder object containing your order. What this means is when you submit orders you will want to do something like this:

// In Variables
private IOrder stopOrder = null;

// In OnBarUpdate()
stopOrder = ExitLongStop(100);
CancelOrder(stopOrder);
