TD Ameritrade and OCO's

[gupagoer]

Hi, I have multiple open positions and at the end of the day if they don't hit their respective Target/Stop, I would like cancel the linked OCO's and close the positions. I know TD Ameritrade makes things difficult, what would be the best way to do this? I've tried various ways but cant seem to get it to work. Any help would be great, thank you!

Hello gupagoer,

Thanks for your post.

You could cancel the orders with Account.Cancel and then look for the cancellation of these orders in OnOrderUpdate before attempting to close the position, and this should work well with TDA.

Please see the example I have attached.

Is it possible to use this kind of approach to avoid the "boxed position error" ? The idea is to get a long/short strategy, so wait for the position to close, and then enter the reverse position. I'm trying to do it but I can't get it to work, any help would be appreciated.

Boxed position error:

Hello rocker84,

Maybe the concept would be similar.. Instead of cancelling an order and waiting for the order to update as cancelled in OnOrderUpdate(), you would instead submit a market order to exit the position, then once the position updates in OnPositionUpdate() as flat, send the new limit or stop order in the opposite direction.
