Hi, I have a trailing mechanism in my algo. Currently, I am polling the prices in the algo and then deciding the course of action. However, I would like to keep a SL in the system (with the broker Zerodha). So initially I will be adding the SL order and then want to modify the SL order as per my trailing logic. My question is: If my SL order number is say 12345 and if I modify SL from say 100 to 80, will the order number remain the same or changes to a new order number. (In other words is modification treated as a new order). I am asking this as with the trailing, I would like to keep changing the SL to lower number as my position goes into profit. Thanks.
SL trailing/ modifying the SL order will not be treated as a new order. And your order ID will remain the same
One can modify an order up to 25 times. Once you hit that you will have to cancel the order and place it again.
