thank you

You're welcome

A lot of this content you are producing is going over my head. xD But I'm still grateful you made videos I can pause and review multiple times. :D

[@SigmaCoding]

Glad you like them! Yeah the content can be a little much if you're not used to coding in Python, but trust me over time it'll start to click. When I first started teaching myself programming it took a good 3 to 4 months just to get mildly productive with coding. However, after that first hump, the learning curve tends to accelerate and you'll notice it will take less and less time to grasp new concepts.

How do you cancel a waiting order?

[@SigmaCoding]

You would need to make a "DELETE" request for the Orders endpoint and then just make sure to add the Order ID and you should be good.

First off, thank you for creating this KZbin content as it has helped me get up and running with the TD Ameritrade API. I ran across an issue with sending One triggers an OCO order. I kept getting a 400 response when I sent a One triggers an OCO order. I could send the 3 orders separately with no problem but when I combine them it fails. I even copied and pasted the sample order from your repo “conditional order - trigger - OTA OCO.jsonc”, but no luck. I was having this issue when sending “savedorders” but I found that the One triggers an OCO order works perfectly when sending an actual order. 🤔🤔🤔 Also, around 5:00 you mention that you could have multiple orders execute at once. Could you provide an example of that function? I am trying to get two OCO orders to trigger from the initial order. Thanks.

Hello, say you are doing a trigger order, how do you have the "price" be the open price and say not the 8.00, also when it is time to do the child order to say sell, how would you have it sell at a price a certain percentage difference from that opening price? Please let me know and keep up the good work.
