Not able to replace ExitLongStop order

[rahulkalgunde]

Hi,

I am using following sequence in my automated startegy.



1. Entering Long

EnterLong(int quantity, string signalName)


2. Entering stop order

In OnExecution method, I am placing stop loss order

ExitLongStop(int quantity, double stopPrice, string signalName, string fromEntrySignal)


3. After predefined condition met, I am canceling stop order and placing new stop order (moving stop to break even)


4. after some predefined condition met, I am selling half of the postion

ExitLongLimit(int quantity, double limitPrice, string signalName, string fromEntrySignal)


5. OnExecution of ExitLongLimit order, I want to change/update stop order (which was placed by ExitLongStop) , I cancel old order and place new ExitLongStop with reduced quantity since I have already sold half of the position.
but Here after placing ExitLongStop order again, nothing happens.


I want to know, how can I update the stop order after selling half of the position.

Hi there, please set TraceOrders = true in the Initialize() section of your strategy and see what output is printed in the output window. If your orders are being ignored, it will say why. If you are scaling out of the position though, it is necessary to first scale in or the exit logic will not behave properly.

To update the stop order after selling half of the position, you can just update the order. Another option would be to cancel the order and then submit a new stop.
