notify_order() Race Condition
-
Hello,
I am wondering, is it wrong to send orders inside the notify_order() method? During live trading, I wait for an entry order to be signalled as 'Complete' in the notify_order() method and immediately send 2 stop loss orders (one fixed and one trailing) but I noticed that notify_order() is never called again for those stop loss orders, more specifically I do not receive order 'Accepted' even though the orders show up on the live broker. The live broker I am using btw is Interactive Brokers. Should I not send these stop loss orders inside this method to allow it to be freed up?
Thanks

The notifications are received in the main thread via a synchronized queue (standard python machinery). Your code never leaves the main thread.
When you send orders they are managed in the main thread (ibpy puts them in a socket and there they go)
It cannot as such be a race condition, because only 1 thread is involved.
Some examples with what you do would be needed.
