Replacing EnterLongLimit with EnterLong

[kaydgee]

Hi,

If I issue an EnterLongLimit() order and CalculateOnBarClose=false and I then issue an EnterLong() order before the end of the bar on which the first order was placed, will the original limit order become a market order? Or must I cancel the original order?

Hello,

You would need cancel EnterLongLimit().

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thank you, Brett.

If the first order were, in fact, not a market order, but also a limit order and I just wanted to modify the limit price, would I also need to first cancel one EnterLongLimit() order and then issue the second? Or could I just send the new order with the modified price?

Hello,

No in fact I would recommend just modifying the limit price. This prevents from having too many orders submitted to the market and reduces risk of overfill.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
