[R-SIG-Finance] Track multiple order status with IBrokers

[Jeff Ryan]

Hi Noah,

Some of this isn't exported due to a temporary lack of docs. 

IBrokers:::reqExecutions
IBrokers:::reqOpenOrders

Are decent places to start. IB also accepts many "algo" orders that implement some logic you might be interested in as well. 

Sorry for so little detail, just not on a machine I can run through an example for you with. 

HTH
Jeff

So, as long as the price is heading in a favorable direction, I want to cancel the current stop and place a new one.  Once the stop hits, I want to be able to detect this and update my records accordingly. (And then start looking for next entry position.)
