How to cancel order that was set up with isLiveUntilCancelled: false?

[Waxavi]

Hello,

I'd appreciate your support

I've set an order with the following method:

myOrder = EnterLongStopMarket(barsInProgressIndex: 0, isLiveUntilCancelled: false, quantity: DefaultQuantity, stopPrice: GetCurrentAsk() * 1.01, signalName: string.Empty);

As of my knowledge if I have "isLiveUntilCancelled": false I must wait for the current bar to finish for this order to expire, but what can I do if it IsLiveUntilCancelled is false and let's way I want to cancel it before the bar closes, with something like a button for example? I've tried setting up a button to cancel the order, and it doesn't work, doesn't do anything.

Hello Waxavi,

A live until cancel false order will expire after 1 bar, you cannot cancel that type of order in code. If your logic has opportunities to cancel the order before the end of the bar you need to use true so that it can be cancelled instead of expired.

Hello Jesse,

Thanks for answering me so quickly, I've also noticed that if I click on the X (cancel the order manually) my strategy stops responding properly (I have for example a custom button on a chart panel to place a buy order and it stops working after I hit that X) Is there something I can do to prevent this conflict?

Helllo Waxavi,

Strategies are not intended to be used with manual actions from other tools. The strategy won't know you cancelled the order. A custom button can be used to cancel an order but it needs to be live until cancelled = true.
