public Order cancelOrder(String orderId, String variety)

To cancel/Exit already executed BO what values do we need to pass
orderId - will it be parent order id or BO order id?
variety - will it be bo or LIMIT?

Hi @rktheinvestor1,

You should send both order_id and parent_order_id.
Variety is bo.

Kite supports four order varieties,
1. regular
2. bo
3. co
4. amo

LIMIT is order type not variety.

The api has only two parametes, how do i send both?

sujith

Also i am getting below exception when i am executing cancelOrder call.

Order is getting cancelled but seeing this in my application logs. Can you let me know why it is happening? My parameter type is string only.

org.json.JSONException: JSONObject["order_id"] not a string.
at org.json.JSONObject.getString(JSONObject.java:721)
at com.rainmatter.models.Order.parseOrderPlacedResponse(Order.java:79)
at com.rainmatter.kiteconnect.KiteConnect.cancelOrder(KiteConnect.java:272)

You can send BO params in a map. We will have to make some changes to javakiteconnect. We will release it soon.

When did you get this error? Is this consistent or intermittent?
Can you mention at what time you tried this?

@sujith
1. So you mean as of now i cannot exit executed BO using java client?
2. I get the error mentioned earlier always when i try to cancel a BO which is in OPEN state.

Last error was at around Fri Nov 25 12:13:02 IST 2016 when i tried to cancel "tradingSymbol :: MARICO16DECFUT orderId :: 161125000217284 status :: OPEN"

1. Yes for now, you cannot pass extra params so you cannot exit bracket order on javakiteconnect.
2. We will update KiteConnect class with a feature to exit bracket order and then you can check and let me know.

How soon?

Looks like small issue with the method signature only......if we simply pass "Map params," and comment "Map params = new HashMap();" should be fine i beleive.

/**
* Cancels an order.
* @param orderId order id of the order to be cancelled.
* @param variety [variety="regular"]. Order variety can be bo, co, amo, regular.
* @return Order object contains only orderId
*/
public Order cancelOrder(String orderId, String variety) throws KiteException, JSONException {
String url = routes.get("orders.cancel").replace(":variety", variety).replace(":order_id", orderId);
Map params = new HashMap();

JSONObject jsonObject = new KiteRequest().deleteRequest(url, authorize(params));
Order order = new Order();
order.parseOrderPlacedResponse(jsonObject);
return order;
}

We will release it in couple of days.

Hi @rktheinvestor1,

Checkout new release javakiteconnect v1.4.1. You can exit bracket order.
