    @ sujith i have gone through the documents , i need some examples what is difference between "cancel order" and "exit order"

    @samphel When you exit a cover order position, the stoploss order is modified by the system to a market order. When you use "cancel", an open order that hasn't executed yet is cancelled.

    @Matti Thank you, so if in a case where i have reached the target price i could use the algo as follow:
    if (latest_price >= squareoff_price_long):

    kite.exit_order(variety=variety_check, order_id=parent_order_id)
    print(stock_name, "order is exited")

    where latest_price is the ltp i'm geting from kite.ltp and squareoff_price_long is the price where i want to square off and variety_check is "CO". Since i have used this step in my code and i was successfully excuted from the cover order, so for final check i need to know weather i'm doing right or wrong
