Hello

I am getting an exception for close order during strategy execution on demo account (not on backtest).

com.dukascopy.api.JFException: state is CREATED

Why would one get an exception on a CREATED order ?

That's kind of not very reassuring.

Thanks

Hi

Ok so I see what's happening: an order in CREATED state can not be closed or cancelled , we have to wait until it is in OPENED or FILLED state.
... But still this is not right, when we perform a close it should close or cancel any state without having to do further checks.
Hope this can be fixed , this is useless burden on the strategy coding.

Thanks

You can carry out actions on orders only according to order state diagrams given in:
https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#Order_state
If the order is in state CREATED, then it has not been submitted on the order side yet. If it was allowed to call IOrder.close on such orders, you would send a close request to the server on order which is not there - this would break up the workflow of orders.
It is just required to check order state before closing an order. In general you should check order state before doing any action with order.
