Variable Target and Stop Prices in OnExecutionUpdate

[Doctor JR]

I'd like to be able to adjust the OnExecutionUpdate Target and Stop Prices with a chart button.

The chart button isn't a problem, but I can't seem to accomplish the rest. I'm not particularly confident it's doable as this would involve an OnBarUpdate of an int value and only order info seems to find it's way to OnExecutionUpdate. I figured it won't hurt to ask.

Hi Doctor JR, thanks for posting. The most straight forward way of doing this would be to add the button within a strategy script. That way you can get an order handle for each resting order and search through it. E.g. you can use a List<Order> object and add the orders seen from OnOrderUpdate. To do it from an addon or indicator, you would need to get all orders from an Account object. and use Account.Submit to place orders.

We have a helpful example here that demonstrates this more advanced order handling technique:
