Hello,

I am creating a trading algorithm, and I want it to have a method that offsets all existing orders, so that I can shut off the program and not have to worry. I believe I have figured out what to do for old market orders that I sent, but I'm not sure what I should do about filled stop orders. If a stop order is triggered, its state goes from Held to Accepted and it becomes a market order. After that, the state becomes Completed when the market order is filled, right?

I have references to my orders saved using the Order class. When a stop order becomes a market order, will my old reference work? Additionally, after the stop order becomes a market order and the market order is filled, how can I find that order to offset it? Will my original Order reference work or is there some better way to do this?

Thanks.

After login to the server OECAPI doesn't contain completed/cancelled/rejected orders from previous trading sessions.

Order ID is a persistent value even after modifications from stop to market order type.

You can find out state diagram here: http://www.openecry.com/api/api/OEC.Data.OrderState.html
