[GDAX] Canceled, not filled order

[ihdk]

Hello, first of all, thank you for such great tool like Gekko.
I am running gekko live with GDAX what working pretty well, although I have some questions.

Using advice('short') or advice('long'), it's correctly added to order on GDAX. But sometimes, the request is not filled and order cancelled - this cause me a problem as in my strategy I am couting automatically that it's filled and do the rest of my code.
For example, I am recognizing if sell (advice(short) ) or purchase ( advice(long) ) was done as previous action. If advice is not really filled on GDAX, my code continues the wrong way as in the code is not recognized if request was filled or not.

Is there any way to do not cancel my order and wait until it's filled, or check if for example advice('long') was really filled and purchase really processed on GDAX ?

Thank you so much for any advice.

When your advice signals "short" Gekko will try to sell, it will do this by creating orders on your side of the book and if they don't fill cancel and recreate them. Documentation is poor but you can read a bit more about that here: https://gekko.wizb.it/docs/introduction/scope.html#Execution-strategy

If you have found Gekko only canceling but not recreating that's definitely a bug! Please post some logs so we can figure out what is happening.

You are in luck! There now is a new handle called onTrade for your strategy that is called whenever the trader has successfully completed the trade. See here for details #1850 and note that you need to download the latest develop version to access it.

I hope that answers your question, if it doesn't please comment again :)

Hey Mike, that's perfect, thanks a lot.
inTrade is exactly what I was looking for, I am continue to use develop branch from now...

Just for your information, recreating the order after cancel worked and still working fine, I just looked for the way to disable cancelling what I finally found. But now with inTrade handle, no more needed to disable cancel of order.

Thanks again for your willingness and answer on my questions.
Have a great day.

Hi again, using the develop branch I am experiencing errors more often while gekko is used live on the market.
Find please errors described below...I am not sure if it has something to do with it, but for me it looks like the problem comes after more attemts to foll my order. Order was few times cancelled and created again, but after some time of this state, errors appear...
If it would have to do something with onTrade function which I started to use, I have there nothing more than:

method.onTrade = function() {
    this.waitingInOrder = false;
    this.diffCandles = 0;
    console.log("\torder completed, can continue...");
}

Would you be so kind to check it please?
Thank you.

1. (have not copied error), but console said that in file ./exchanges/gdax.js
   in function: Trader.prototype.checkOrder = function(order, callback)
   was not defined "data"
   It was general error that cannot call status of undefind, at line: var status = data.status;

2. I have copied error message:
   E:\gekko\gekko-develop\plugins\performanceAnalyzer\performanceAnalyzer.js:112
