Cancelling Parent orders (only) in the Spreadsheet Trade

Hi,

I posted a new Thread (ID 1384) but I got no answer. I was related to the possibility of cancelling all the orders except the ones that are "exit" orders (child orders coming from a previously executed Parent order). That would give a lot of power to the automatic trading through the Spreadsheet as you can can change your Limit or Stop orders for increasing your position and leaving the original limits for profit and loss.

I do not know if this is easy to implement but a cell that enable, for instance, to cancel all orders which Parent ID = 0 would be perfect.

Needless to say that the child orders not working yet would be cancelled together with their Parent order.

We did see that thread, but have not gotten to it yet. We will add this capability.

Just been very busy lately.

Thanks for consider the addition of this capability.

When do you think it will be added? Is it already in your roadmap?

I saw it yesterday. Thank you.

There is just one issue when I checked it: The child orders which are pending (not working yet) are not cancelled when the parent order is cancelled. Of course, this is not an operational issue as the pending orders will never become working orders as the parent order is cancelled and will never trigger the child ones. The problem here is that the child non-working orders appears in the chart and that could lead to confusion. I think that the non-working child orders should be cancelled together with the Parent order associated to them.

Of course, the child orders already working should not be cancelled.

I have just seen another issue regarding this new function "Cancel Non-Child orders".

When the J78 cell value is set to 1 the system cancels the Non-Child orders for ALL the charts not only for the chart which the Spreadsheet is working for. I understand that the cancellation should be ONLY for the chart linked to the spreadsheet and not for the rest of the charts.

Just for clarification, in my previous post, where I said "spreadsheet" I meant "sheet" so the post should be:

When the J78 cell value is set to 1 the system cancels the Non-Child orders for ALL the charts not only for the chart which the Sheet is working for. I understand that the cancellation should be ONLY for the chart linked to the Sheet where the cell J78 is set to 1 and not for the rest of the charts.

Sorry for the confusion.

This is an error on our part. It is canceling all symbols. We need to fix that. We will put out a new release later today.
