I whipped this little gem up to help easily manage my Profit and Loss orders where when one or the other order is filled, the other is automatically canceled.
Still a little rough and could probably be improved or refactored to be more re-usable, but thought it might help as is.

Hi there @Levitikon, I just saw your algorithm because this post.
Your implementation is great, thanks for sharing.
As I use only one open position at a time for any security, in order to close all submitted but not filled orders, I use the Liquidate method.
Check the logs in the attached backtest.

Hi @Levitikon,
It's working great + it helped me find and fix some annoying bugs.
Thank you very much for this wonderful gem.

Hi @ Levitikon and others,
Would anyone know why it seems to be triggering both the profit target and the stop loss at the same time in the following code:
In the code: I entering 1 order at a specific time I would like (8am).
Any idea why both are getting filled?
Thanks for the code!

Hi Lucas,
Both orders are getting filled because both target and stop prices are getting hit in the same bar. Let me suggest some solutions:
-Increasing the resolution of the data to seconds will (in the great majority of cases) mean they're filled separately,
-Increasing the width of the stop and limit orders will also (in the great majority of cases) fix it.
-Keeping track of canceled order ids. If the order was successfully canceled an OrderEvent will be sent through the callback OnOrderEvent, with the corresponding OrderId and Status set as Canceled. If not, the Status will be Filled/PartiallyFilled, in which case you will want to liquidate the position.
