Canceling all orders does not cancel stop order

[petercerno]

When I call cancelOrders (or cancelAllOrders) from an AuthenticatedClient, it returns 0 cancelled orders even though I have one active buy-stop order on the BTC-EUR product.
Calling cancelOrder with the correct orderID works fine, although from time-to-time also this method fails with the status code: 400.

Unfortunately named, cancelAllOrders only cancels all open orders. Stop orders after placed have an active status. It may be worth it to rename cancelAllOrders to cancelOpenOrders. @mihar thoughts?

I am experiencing this problem too

I've been waiting for an extraordinarily long time to figure out how to do this. Does anyone have any idea?

[JThobbyist]

If stop orders are listed when you call getOrders() then you could getOrders after you cancelAllOrders and whatever is left cancel by iterating through with cancelOrder

When I request get orders, I just get a [200] confirmation response, which I assume means there aren't any "open" orders but that the call went through.

You’re getting that response code in the body?

With Python I'm running print(requests.get(api_url + "orders", auth=auth)) and getting a [200]. getOrders() doesn't work. I assume that's JavaScript and I'm not totally sure what to do with that currently unless I can JSONify something somehow

[JThobbyist]

Yeah this is a forum for “gdax-node”, as in nodeJS. You can definitely interconvert between JavaScript and python, js is easy to pick up, and if you run your command in js you can write your JSON.stringify-ed data to a text file and then read the file with python

Ah. So it is. Well thanks @JThobbyist for showing me that at least it's possible :)

While I agree that this method is named somewhat unfortunately, the API reference names it the same and also documents it as only canceling open orders.
https://docs.gdax.com/#cancel-all

However, I did add some additional information to the README.
