hi there,
just wondering if there is any solution to this problem: i try to submit a stoplimit order directly after a buy order. however, it gets rejected by alpaca becuase I cannot submit sell order with a current buy order open.
i just wanna figure out how to delay the stoplimit going in until after the buy is filled so it doesnt get cancelled.
i have tried stuff like(and other similar stuff):
Limitorder(stock, qty, 109.00)
if (ticket.Status == orderstatus.filled);
stoplimit order
but it doesnt work for some reason. any ideas anyone on how to make sure both of these order get submitted?
also, i would like to send my thanks to the Quantconnect team. always helpful, always there. thanks ;)

Hi Christian,
We can place a Stop Limit Order in OnOrderEvent if we check if (orderEvent.Status == OrderStatus.Filled && orderEvent.Direction == OrderDirection.Buy). I've shown this in the attached backtest.
Best,
Shile Wen
