Moving a stop order with following code:

url=‘order/modifyorder’  
this.ws = new WebSocket(url)  
this.ws.send(`${url}\n${id}\n${query || ''}\n${JSON.stringify(body)}`)

The reply is success:  
mod ord res:{  
“s”: 200,  
“i”: 27,  
“d”: {  
“commandId”: 861227941  
}  
}

But the stop order in reality fails to move:

This results in the code unable to detect failure to move stop order, which can lead to serious issues. Any advice is appreciated!

</div>

Also I am thinking to query stop price to confirm move success, before letting the code proceed.  
However documentation shows that /order/item and /order/dependents do not reply with any actual price data for the order.  
I also realize there are different orderVersions for each order.  
How can I quickly check the current stop price of an order?  
Thank you

That’s normal, that just means the API accepted your request to modify the order. Notice that it returns a `commandId`. This is what you need to find out if your modification executed. Look up `/executionReport/deps?masterId=<commandId>` to find the result of the command to modify your order.

To check an order’s stop price, use `/orderVersion/deps?masterid=<orderId>`, that should give you the lastest `orderVersion` entity. One of its fields is `stopPrice`.

> _Edit: Don’t include the angle brackets, just the raw integer ID._

It would be better to use userSync to get notified of the change instead.
