Hi, I'm trying to check if there is an open order without a stop loss at any point in time (because I had issues in the past in high volatility environment where an order was placed but the SL was not. I tried the following: int Index = -1; //to get the last order placed. if(sc.GetOrderByIndex (Index, OrderDetails) != SCTRADING_ORDER_ERROR) { if(OrderDetails.OrderStatusCode == SCT_OSC_FILLED) { //Flatten and cancel positions here since the last order was filled (meaning there is no current open SL order. } } I don't understand what I'm doing wrong here. Also, is there a simpler way to check that? That'd be great! Thanks in advance. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2020-04-13 08:35:15

When the order is placed, save the stop order ID number in a persistent variable. Then any time you want to know the status of the stop order use sc.GetOrderByOrderID to check the status and quantity of the stop order.

Thank you for your answer. The thing is that I use multiple algo at the same time and that I want to use a different algo to "clean up" orders without a SL attached. I found a way using a while loop but I'm afraid it will slow down the performance. |
