ChangeOrder with Unmanaged approach

[DarthTraderson]

Hi,

I try to increase my contract number on certain conditions.

Is it possible to use ChangeOrder ... witt my already saved entryOrder-Object for tthis?

ChangeOrder(entryOrder, entryOrder.Quantity +1,  0, 0);

In my backtest this has no effect to current number of contracts.

In case the method doesn't work, what would be the correct way to achieve this?

Thx
DT

Hello,

Thanks for your forum post.

The ChangeOrder() method is only used to change an active order. For example a limit order or stop order that is on the exchange waiting to be filled. Once an order is accepted or filled it is no longer and order and as thus ChangeOrder() will have no affect here.

If you want to double or scale into a position you would need to submit a second order and then manage its exit as you would the original order. You would use SubmitOrder() for this.


Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
