I was trying this basic code to check get_open_orders() functionality. But it seems like it is not returning any thing ?
Is there anything I am missing ?
get_open_orders() not working as expected ?
This is the snippet of the output:

Hey harsh pahel,
Great start on testing things out and you're pretty much almost there! I think what's happening is that by the first time 'if context.invested' gets triggered, the order has already been fulfilled and consequently, 'get_open_orders' returns an empty dictionary.
One way way to go about this is to move the 'get_open_orders()' directly after you order 'context.aapl' and you should see it return something like '{Security(24[...]}'
if not context.invested:
order_id = order(context.aapl, 100)
print order_id
context.invested = True
open_orders = get_open_orders()
print "printing open_orders"
print open_orders Does that do what you were looking for?

Hello Seong Lee, thanks for clearing my confusion.
I was thinking that get_open_orders() will return my current position what I hold.
Can you tell me if there is any function which will return my current positions ?
Thanks
You're looking for the positions object. You can read about it in the help doc, and you can see a lot of usage examples.

I have one more question Dan,
Okay so I was going through the api docs and found out that we can place target orders and stoploss orders. I have a confusion in that:
So suppose we placed both orders for AAPL, now if my target is achieved will my stoploss order automatically get cancelled? Or vice-versa like if we hit the stoploss first will the target order get cancelled ?
There are no automatic cancellations like that. I can see the appeal and we might build such an order type in the future. For now, though, you need to do your own order management and cancel orders that are no longer relevant.
There is one exception: in live trading, orders are canceled at the end of the day. That is different from the backtester where orders stay open indefinitely. That's one of the very few differences between the backtester and live trading.
