Hi guys!

I am new in coding algos in Python (I've started 3 weeks ago) and I want to use in my algo a function that closes all the positions and orders at a given get_datetime().hour . I need some help, please!

Here is my code:

the main position will be, at all times, a SHORT position (negative amount) --- that's the strategy
and the limit and stop orders (TakeProfit and StopLoss) for that position will be LONG with the same amount
I know how to cancel the remaing limit or stop order if the position has reached the other stop or limit order,
but I don't know how to close a position at market price at a given datetime
.....before executing the Open_New_Position(context,data) code

def CloseAll_Orders_and_Positions(context,data):

print ('Closing all orders and positions')  


def GetAmount_OpenPos(context,data):  # equals to the amount of shares in the Open Order  

    orders = get_open_orders()  

    for security, oo_for_sid in orders.iteritems():  
        for order_obj in oo_for_sid:  
            log.info("%s: A. Cancelling positions for %s of %s" %  
                    (get_order(order_obj), order_obj.amount,  
                     security.symbol))  

            print ('HEEEEY! Shares amount:', order_obj.amount)  
            xamount = order_obj.amount  
            return xamount                                   # return value in function



def CloseAllPositions(context,data):  

    positions = context.portfolio.positions  

    if positions:  

        GetAmount_OpenPos(context,data)  

        if GetAmount_OpenPos(context,data):  

            print ('GetAmount_OpenPos:', GetAmount_OpenPos(context,data))  

            amnt = GetAmount_OpenPos(context,data)  

            print ('amnt:', amnt)  


            def sec_sym(context,data):  

                for security in positions:  

                    sym = security.symbol  

                    return sym  

            if sec_sym(context,data):  

                print ('Closing position in', sec_sym(context,data), 'of', amnt, 'shares')  

                order(symbol(sec_sym(context,data)),amnt)    # here is the main error  

                # !!! OrderNonSecurity: 0035 Attempt to order [TZOO], which is not a security. You must place orders with a Security object. You can construct a Security by calling sid(123).  


def CloseAllOrders(context,data):  

    orders = get_open_orders()  

    if orders:  

        for security, oo_for_sid in orders.iteritems():  
           for order_obj in oo_for_sid:  
               log.info("%s: B. Cancelling orders for %s of %s created on %s" %  
                   (get_order(order_obj), order_obj.amount,  
                    security.symbol, order_obj.created))  
               cancel_order(order_obj)  


CloseAllPositions(context,data)   # it this part it could get also ugly if will execute CloseAllOrders(context,data)  
                                                # before the new LONG order for closing the old SHORT position is not yet filled  
CloseAllOrders(context,data)      # but I can choose another datetime or someting to execute the second one

def handle_data(context, data):

if get_datetime().hour == 19 and get_datetime().minute == 12:  
    CloseAll_Orders_and_Positions(context,data)  

if get_datetime().hour == 19 and get_datetime().minute == 15:  
    print ('Current open positions value: ', context.portfolio.positions_value)
