Nulling Canceled Orders Unamanged

[cutzpr]

I would like to null canceled orders while using unmanaged approach. In the templates provided, it shows orders being nullified individually by using their name

example

                if(targetShort_Unmanaged != null && targetShort_Unmanaged == order)
                {
                
                    if(order.OrderState  == OrderState.Cancelled && order.Filled == 0 )
                    {
                        targetShort_Unmanaged = null;
                    }
                } 

I would rather have it done automatically without having to specify each order type. Would the code below work for this

                    List<string> OrdersToNull = new List<string>();
                
                    foreach(Order o in Orders)
                    {
                        if( o != null && o.OrderState == OrderState.Cancelled && order.Filled == 0 )
                        {
                            OrdersToNull.Add(order.Name);
                        }

                    }
                    
                    for(int i =0; i > OrdersToNull.Count; i++)
                        {
                        OrdersToNull[i] = null;    
                        } 

Also I have one more question, aside for it being just a reference, why would you ever want to nullify all SL and TP trades if one of them are canceled. I am just tying to understand the logic.

Also, just because you set the order objects to null doesn't cancel the orders right? Wouldnt you need to use "CancelOrder(Order);" to cancel your protective orders?


The below code is part of the unmanaged template.

            //sets all targets and stops to null if one of them is canceled
            //PLEASE NOTE: setting IOrders to null ***DOES NOT*** cancel them
            if ((targetLong != null && targetLong == order)
                ||(stopLossLong != null && stopLossLong == order)
                ||(targetShort != null && targetShort == order)
                ||(stopLossShort != null && stopLossShort == order)
                )
            {  
                if (order.OrderState == OrderState.Cancelled && order.Filled == 0)
                {
                    targetLong = stopLossLong = targetShort = stopLossShort = null;
                }
            }

Hello cutzpr,

Thank you for the note.

That looks like it will work fine. The context here is important i.e. where the code is being placed specifically will determine the outcome. Test this out on the Sim101 account and see if you get the expected results. You may turn on Trace Orders to get info about orders through the NinjaScript output window:

NinjaTrader_ChrisL,

Hello cutzpr,

Thanks for the follow up.

Nulling an Order object will not cancel it. You will need to use CancelOrder on your Stop or Target if one of them is canceled to get the "OCO" functionality. Only after the orders have reached the Canceled state should you nullify the Order object.

Please let me know if I can assist further.
