Hi malcolm, thanks for your question.

You can use the CancelOrder method. See below for a full example:

Please let me know if I can assist any further.

Hi ChrisL, thanks for the response. In the images, you can see the order is not being cancelled, below is the code, I am sure I am making a simple error, but I can't see it.

if (myLongEntryOrder != null && TradeNow == false)
{
Print("hello");
Print(myLongEntryOrder.OrderId);
Print(myLongEntryOrder.Name);
Print( "No Trade Now ");
CancelOrder(myLongEntryOrder);
}

Are you setting up the order object in OnOrderUpdate. Also it looks like your not checking for the order state before canceling, consider printing this out as well for more information on the active orders.

I look forward to hearing from you.
