thanks Alex. do I have this right?
duplication won't happen, the un-triggered order will simply get replaced,
only one can exist at any time.
if you want to tell if an un-triggered order is sitting out there, you have
to code this yourself, no such thing as "UntriggeredPosition"?
to cancel an un-triggered order, simply create an order with a price that
will guarantee execution - but won't this affect the results or the screen
image?
thanks
Debbi
