Order Functions
Contents
The Order functions are used to modify an existing order.
You can set the fill price, quantity, stop price, or reject the order all together. It is common in the Unit Size script to use the order.SetQuantity function to set the quantity of the order.
Notice that these can only be used in certain scripts that have default order object context. The scripts in which they can be used are listed for each function.
