Post From: moving a LIVE Limit Order to execute At-Market

There is actually an easy solution to this.

You do not need to cancel the order. And you do not need to uncheck Use Attached Orders.

Enable the Scale-Out option as explained here:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_AttachedOrders.html#ScalingOut

Simply adjust the current Order Quantity, you do have to at least do this, to the quantity that you want to reduce your position by and then send a market order. The Attached Orders will be adjusted by the quantity of this market order and will be canceled if needed.

FXCM should be told this:
When modifying a Limit order to a price which will cause it to immediately fill, your FIX server responds with a message like the following:
Info: 19915;DAS 19915: ZDas Exception ORA-20105: Order price did not pass validation.
Could you allow the order to be modified to a price which will cause it to fill immediately, rather than rejecting the order modification. This would be appreciated and make trading much more pleasant and productive rather than struggling with order entry and modification errors.

Thank you.
