Rescue strategy to cancel all pending orders from my account

[localappleseed]

In some situations, I need to cancel all my pending orders from my account. I made a small scrips as follows. But this scrip is quite dangerous because this script can be triggered for any other strategy being called. I have to remember to comment out after using it. Is there any other method to safely cancel all pending orders? Thanks a lot.

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
...
lock (Account.All)
myAccount = Account.All.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Name == "Sim101");

foreach (Order order in myAccount.Orders)
{
if (order.OrderState != OrderState.Cancelled)
{
myAccount.CancelAllOrders(order.Instrument);
}
}

Hello localappleseed,

I would highly not recommend that this code be in State.SetDefaults. The defaults are called when the Strategies window is opened. Every time it's opened. This would cancel all working orders everytime the Strategies window is opened when the defaults are pulled.

A more effective place would be State.DataLoaded, which runs once in OnStateChange() as the strategy has finished loading data and is about to start running OnBarUpdate(), or State.Historical as historical data is about to begin processing, or even State.Realtime just before real-time data begins processing.

Please see the help guide on OnStateChange() and the definitions of each State.

That said, what do you mean by "safe"? Do you mean the code would not cancel working orders on the account?

This would be the only code to place orders to an account outside of a NinjaScript Strategy. I am not aware of any other approach.
