I want to have two spreadsheets independently trading the same symbol in the same account at the same time. I know position is universal (eg if Spreadsheet A opens a position, it is reflected in cell J5 in Spreadsheet B). But are instructions to cancel working orders universal? For example: Spreadsheet A has created a working order. Spreadsheet B also has created a different working order, and now the logic to cancel all working orders is TRUE in Spreadsheet B. -> will the cancel instruction from Spreadsheet B only cancel working orders from Spreadsheet B, or will it cancel all working orders in the account regardless of source? |

If a spreadsheet gives an order for "Cancel All Working Orders" then all working order for that symbol are removed, regardless of where they originated from. This is globally true - it doesn't matter how the orders originated (in other words, this is not only about Spreadsheets). You can, however, have different sets of working orders for each position, and as long as they are OCO orders, then you can let the OCO take care of removing the opposing working order. The downside to this is that the OCO you set may not close out the exact order you want, as the only control for how orders are filled is to define it as LIFO or FIFO. But, of course, it does not matter in the end as when all orders are closed, the total Profit/Loss will be the same.
