cancelling a partially filled order

[stevent]

I was wondering if there is any code that demonstrates how to cancel a partially filled order, but keeps the remaining order existing.

For example, I want to submit a buy-stop-limit order at a particular price for 2 futures contracts. If 1 contract gets filled and then the market moves away from my stop limit price, I want to continue the trade with my existing order, but I want to cancel the buy stop limit order for 1 more contract.

Is there a code example to do this?

Steven, for the highest level of control over orders please work with the IOrder objects we offer -

Hi Bertrand,

I forgot to mention that I'm using NT 6.5. Is there a mechanism with 6.5 that will handle partially filled orders?

thanks,

Steve

Yes Steve, the same IOrder objects were already available in NT 6.5 - here's the suitable link from the 6.5 helpguide for you (you will need to compare the tokens in 6.5, this has been simplified in NT7 recently) -

Thanks Bertrand for the links. I have already gone through these, but it doesn't seem to address my concern, which is a partially filled order.

If I call "CancelOrder" on a partially filled entry order, what will happen? Will it just cancel the remaining stop order?

Hello,

Yes this would remove the unfilled portion.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
