Hello,

I'm using createOrder function to add a stop price and I would like to know how I can update the price of this order.

Can someone help me ?

Hello johnok,

Thank you for your post.

In order to change the price of a stop order you've submitted via Account.CreateOrder() you would need to have saved it in an order variable like in the example seen on the CreateOrder page of the help guide:

Order stopOrder;
stopOrder = myAccount.CreateOrder(myInstrument, OrderAction.Sell, OrderType.StopMarket, OrderEntry.Automated, TimeInForce.Day, 1, 0, 1400, "myOCO", "stopOrder", Core.Globals.MaxDate, null);

myAccount.Submit(new[] { stopOrder });

You could then refer to that stopOrder, update its StopPriceChanged property to the price you'd want to change it to, then use Account.Change to change to a new price:

Order stopOrder;
stopOrder.StopPriceChanged = stopOrder.StopPrice - 4 * stopOrder.Instrument.MasterInstrument.TickSize;

private void OnExecutionUpdate(object sender, ExecutionEventArgs e)
{
  // Change the stop order if an execution results in a long position
  if(e.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
      myAccount.Change(new[] { stopOrder });
}

How do you change StopLimitOrder's limit price? Is there a property called StopPriceLimitChanged?

I want to modify a StopLimitOrder's limit price when it's in Working status.

Yes.

It's called LimitPriceChanged.

Follow the links that Kate provided above.

That is, in the Change() page, near the top,
click on the embedded link for the Order object.
