// Create an s_SCNewOrder object. s_SCNewOrder NewOrder; NewOrder.OrderQuantity = 1; NewOrder.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_OCO_LIMIT_STOP; NewOrder.Price1 = limitPrice; NewOrder.Price2 = stopPrice; NewOrder.TimeInForce = SCT_TIF_DAY; //Specify a Target and a Stop. We are specifying one Target and one Stop, additional targets and stops can be specified as well. NewOrder.Target1Offset = limitOrder_Target_Offset; NewOrder.Target1Offset_2 = stopOrder_Target_Offset; NewOrder.Stop1Offset = stopOrder_Stop_Offset; NewOrder.Stop1Offset_2 = stopOrder_Stop_Offset; I am specifying an order as above. When the order gets executed I get the IDs of the attached orders. if (Result > 0) //If there has been a successful order entry, then draw an arrow at the low of the bar. { // Remember the order IDs for subsequent modification and cancellation Target1OrderID = NewOrder.Target1InternalOrderID; Stop1OrderID = NewOrder.Stop1InternalOrderID; Target2OrderID = NewOrder.Target1InternalOrderID_2; Stop2OrderID = NewOrder.Stop1InternalOrderID_2; } The when the position is not 0, I am checking which orders are live and I get all four of them!!! by checking if sc.GetOrderByOrderID(Target1OrderID, ExistingOrder) != SCTRADING_ORDER_ERROR How can this be true?

The only way to know if the order is actually working and can fill is to use this function: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/ACSILTrading.html#IsWorkingOrderStatusNoChild This is not the right method: sc.GetOrderByOrderID(Target1OrderID, ExistingOrder) != SCTRADING_ORDER_ERROR Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

In this case, could you please let me know what is the best way to find out which of the two orders in the SCT_ORDERTYPE_OCO_LIMIT_STOP has been executed? Thanks a lot.

You need to look at the OrderStatusCode of the order to see if the order has filled: Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study: s_SCTradeOrder Structure Members You can get the order details with this function: Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study: sc.GetOrderByOrderID Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

1)I am having an issue where a study is interpreting live attached orders as being scale in orders. My code has been adapted from that in tradingsystem.cpp and uses != SCTRADING_ORDER_ERROR. In tradingsystem.cpp none of the examples contain the IsWorkingOrderStatusNoChild function. Is it a recent addition? 2) In the Manual the code example is: //Order is considered working if (IsWorkingOrderStatusNoChild(ExistingOrder.OrderStatusCode)) { } Should that be sc.IsWorking.......? Please advise

Is it a recent addition? No. It just was never documented until recently. Should that be sc.IsWorking.......? No. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
