CancelOrder on Filled order

[nandhumca]

in my strategy, if I pass the long order reference which is already filled into CancelOrder, will it place reverse order (10 short) ?

Hello nandhumca,

No, you would need to use the correct method to submit an entry order at that time. To have the platform reverse you need to call the opposite entry order while you are in a position, for example if you had a long position and called EnterShort that will reverse the position.

I dont want to reverse the order. When I call CancelOrder on allready filled entry order what will happen ? Cancel order is meant for pending orders right ?

Hello nandhumca,

If you mean to just exit the position then you would call an exit order. You can't call cancel on an already filled order, that would generate an error and won't place any trades.
