How to cancel partial filled buy order after a certain time period

[jchan]

If an algo listens on ‘trade_updates’ and submit a limited buy order that ends up partial filled, does the streaming channel continually send messages on the order or only when the fill quantity changes?

I’d like to cancel the order if it’s still partial filled after a certain time period. A code sample will be much appreciated!

Yes, you should receive subsequent events after the first partial fills. You can also cancel the order the same way by specifying the order id. You will keep as much position as it filled.
