            //If there is not a buystop order place a buy stop order
            if (PendingOrders.Count(item => item.OrderType == PendingOrderType.Stop && item.TradeType == TradeType.Buy) == 0)
            {
                PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, 1000, Symbol.Ask + 100 * Symbol.PipSize);
            }

Thanks man!! I only have a problem, in the backtesting results the robot remain placing positions, the results looks like the robot place an order for each bar in wich those conditions are met that you shared with me

Did you set the same code for sell orders?

It would be better if you share the code.

I have that code working for sell orders but not for Buy orders.

It's strange that find has not been implemented, as without being able to find a position by it's label there is no way to manage orders of the same type for different purposes.

It is incredibly frustrating! The pc is going out the window soon :(

I guess this is why all the example bots create market orders and not pending orders lol.

Surely with a major release like 3.0 this is the perfect time to make dealing with pending orders as easy as positions. I can see the 'Label' written in the Orders payne of crtader GUI.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this the purpose of an API?  The vote for this feature is about 6 years old from memory.

Can we get some support on this issue please Admin?

Hi prosteel1,

You can search pending orders by label, in the same way you can do with positions. See example below

 PendingOrders.Where(x => x.Label == "My label");

Best Regards,

All you had to do is to change "Buy" for "Sell" and update the price to have both

For Buy

//If there is not a buystop order place a buy stop order
if (PendingOrders.Count(item => item.OrderType == PendingOrderType.Stop && item.TradeType == TradeType.Buy) == 0)
{
    PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, 1000, Symbol.Ask + 100 * Symbol.PipSize);
}

For Sell

//If there is not a buystop order place a buy stop order
if (PendingOrders.Count(item => item.OrderType == PendingOrderType.Stop && item.TradeType == TradeType.Sell) == 0)
{
    PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, 1000, Symbol.Bid - 100 * Symbol.PipSize);
}
