Exiting BO order

gkannan1965

When I place a buy BO order and the order is executed, can I exit the order by calling order_cancel() passing the parent_order_id and variety as 'bo'. When I mean exit, I want to square off the target order at that moment.

Vivek

@gkannan1965 Yeah, once the order is executed you can square off by order_cancel call with parent_order_id.

gkannan1965

when I call kite.orders("order_id"), the parent_order_id is not returned. How to get the parent_order_id?

Vivek

@gkannan1965 You will get the parent order_id from orders() call but ideally it should also be on individual order call, will be fixed in next version.

gkannan1965

Thanks Vivek. Please fix this ASAP. I will manage with the orders() call for now.

I am unable to cancel BO order. The error msg is as below:
print (kite.order_cancel('160607000057123', variety='bo', parent_order_id='1
60607000057122'))

raise(exp(data["message"], code=r.status_code))
kiteconnect.exceptions.OrderException: Please select a valid BO Order to Exit

@gkannan1965 Please check if the parent and child order id is valid and also the order is not exited with stoploss or target by the time you tried exiting.

gkannan1965

Thanks, I will check and revert back. I can also check using the status and cancel orders that are 'PENDING'. Will this work?

Vivek

@gkannan1965 If order is pending you can cancel it normally with just order id.
