One order of any kind. You can have long stop, long limit, short
stop, and short limit active at the same time.

If it hits your stop price, it's triggered. You have to track
that.

You don't have to cancel orders. (I wish you did!!) They only
last for the **ONE** bar after you issue the order. So
cancelling orders isn't the issue. Keeping them ACTIVE is the
challenge. You have to remember the price you want the stop at,
and re-issue the order on every bar until it's hit or you don't
want the order to be active any more.
