Post From: Block Invalid Orders

I have been attempting to block buy Limit orders above the current price, block buy stop orders below the current price, and the reverse for sell orders. Really I am doing this because I mess up and click the wrong one sometimes, which is annoying. I was trying to do this through a study, but I have been unsuccessful. are there any plans to add this feature to the settings? I know it is just me not paying good enough attention to when I am placing orders, and I am trying to get better. The code I was writing is below. If you also can see where I went wrong, that also would be helpful. It builds it fine, but every time I add it to my chart, it freezes up, which is why I was trying to exit the loop if no orders exist: #include "sierrachart.h"
SCDLLName("Block Invalid Orders") void OrderValidation(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc) { SCString Message; float LastPrice = sc.Close[sc.Index]; // Get last traded price int i = 0; // Start index for orders while (true) { s_SCTradeOrder Order; if (!sc.GetOrderByIndex(i, Order)) { break; // Exit loop when no more orders exist } float OrderPrice = Order.Price1; // Order price int OrderType = Order.OrderTypeAsInt; // Correct order type retrieval int OrderSide = Order.BuySell; // Buy/Sell type bool IsInvalidOrder = false; // Block incorrect Buy and Sell orders if (OrderType == SCT_ORDERTYPE_LIMIT && OrderSide == BSE_BUY && OrderPrice > LastPrice) { IsInvalidOrder = true; Message = "Blocked Buy Limit Order: Cannot place above current price!"; } else if (OrderType == SCT_ORDERTYPE_STOP && OrderSide == BSE_BUY && OrderPrice < LastPrice) { IsInvalidOrder = true; Message = "Blocked Buy Stop Order: Cannot place below current price!"; } else if (OrderType == SCT_ORDERTYPE_LIMIT && OrderSide == BSE_SELL && OrderPrice < LastPrice) { IsInvalidOrder = true; Message = "Blocked Sell Limit Order: Cannot place below current price!"; } else if (OrderType == SCT_ORDERTYPE_STOP && OrderSide == BSE_SELL && OrderPrice > LastPrice) { IsInvalidOrder = true; Message = "Blocked Sell Stop Order: Cannot place above current price!"; } // If the order is invalid, cancel it and log the message if (IsInvalidOrder) { sc.CancelOrder(Order.InternalOrderID); sc.AddMessageToLog(Message, 1); } i++; // Move to the next order in the list } } // Main function SCSFExport scsf_BlockInvalidOrders(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc) { if (sc.SetDefaults) { sc.GraphName = "Block Invalid Orders"; sc.AutoLoop = 0; // Prevent execution on every tick sc.UpdateAlways = 1; // Run periodically return; } // Run validation every 500 milliseconds if (sc.UpdateStartIndex == 0 || sc.LastCallToFunction) { OrderValidation(sc); } } |
