Canceling an order

[bsamani]

I place the following order :

tmStrategyCreate(Action.Buy,OrderType.StopLimit,Op en[0]+ 1* TickSize, Open[0] + 1 * TickSize, TimeInForce.Day, OrderId,"BahramBreakout", atmOrderId)

The order is place and i can see it.

When I try to cancel the order with the following:


lastRedOrderId = OrderId;
atmlastRedOrderId = atmOrderId;
AtmStrategyCancelEntryOrder("lastRedOrderId");
AtmStrategyCancelEntryOrder("atmlastRedOrderId");

But, the order never gets canceled.

ANy idea's?

You need to ensure you are using the correct orderId value. Use GetAtmStrategyEntryOrderStatus(orderId) to help you figure out if you have the proper orderId. Please see how to do this with SampleAtmStrategy.

Am i Suppose to use the OrderID or the ATMOrderID to cancel the pending order?


Thanks!

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

The orderId.

[bsamani]

I have tried and tried to cancel an Order that has a status of Accepted.

i have checked and double checked to make sure its the same OrderID that was accepted. But, i keep getting an error.
I know its the right order ID since i see the order on the dom and i can see the trace msgs in the output window.

}
else

if (lastGreenOrderId != null)

What is the error you are getting?

[bsamani]

I did not know, there was an error code returned. In the docs it only says, the function returns True or False.

How can i get an error code?

[bsamani]

Ok. I am an idiot.

I think i figured it out.

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Great. Glad you got it resolved.
