Autotrading: recognition of orders

Postby Fredi » 30 Dec 2015

If a market is very fast and OCO group is not supported natively by broker,
there is always the possibility, that both bracket orders can be filled. That
means: a open position without an exit order.

With the commands marketposition / i_marketposition / OpenpositionProfit it is possible,
to find out, if there is an open position.

My question: how I can check - at any time during an open position - that there is an
exit order (stop, Limit etc.), too?


Thanks and regards,
Fredi

I'm afraid you can't. This probably will be possible with feature request #1497 (and especially with the #512 sub-request), but #1497 has been postponed indefinitely recently, so we don't know when this will be possible.

Thank you JoshM. I didn't notice this feature request.
The real problem is, that I don't see any workaround.

There is NO system in this World, no matter how comprehensive, can protect anyone from a FAST MARKET.

The only way to protect yourself is to NOT get into a situation where a fast market might do damage to you.
