Changing EnterLongStopLimit

[kiss987]

After submitting a GTC EnterLongStopLimit() order which was not filled I want to change its stop and limit at the following scenarios. How can I do that?

Scenario A: The stop was never triggered.
Scenario B: The stop was triggered but the order was not filled because of the limit.

Thanks

Hello kiss987,


You can use IOrder objects to check the the current state of your orders. You can submit and update your stop-loss and profit target orders through the use of IOrder and IExecution objects in the OnOrderUpdate() and OnExecution() methods. Here is the IOrder Help Guide.


Here is a reference sample that shows how IOrder is used as well as the OnExecution() and OnOrderUpdate() methods.

Thank you for your reply

What I mean is, suppose I've submitted a EnterLongStopLimit order and after awhile, before the price has reached the stop, I want to change the stop and the limit values, can I simply submit a new EnterLongStopLimit order and the values will be changed or should I cancel the first order and only then I can submit a new EnterLongStopLimit.

Hello kiss987,

Thanks for your post.

You can resubmit the same order with the new values to change to the new level.
