how to cance an order using the unmanaged approach?

[zehua]

I have an entry order that I created using the unmanaged approach.
entryOrder = SubmitOrderUnmanaged(0, OrderAction.Buy, OrderType.Limit, 1, entryLevel, 0, entryOrderName, "Limit Order " + currentHourStart.ToString());

I want to cancel the order later under some conditions. I called CancelOrder(entryOrder), and I get an exception when the code hits SubmitOrderUnmanaged method. The exception is "'SubmitOrderUnmanaged' method can't be called on managed strategies."".

If I prefer to keep the unmanaged approach for orders, could you tell me how to cancel entryOrder?

Hello zehua,

Thank you for your post.

Did you set IsUnmanaged = true in State.SetDefaults?

Are you using any Managed Approach methods elsewhere in the script, such as SetStopLoss()?

Thank you! I will try adding IsUnmanaged = true in State.SetDefaults.
Yes I called CancelOrder method elsewhere in the script, which I believe is a managed approach to cancel orders. But if I want to stick to unmanaged approach, could you tell me how to cancel orders?

Hello zehua,

CancelOrder can also be used with the Unmanaged Approach.
