# Interrupt Order Strategy

POST https://demo.tradovateapi.com/v1/orderStrategy/interruptorderstrategy
Content-Type: application/json

### Stop a running Order Strategy.

**Available to:** All authenticated users

**Environments:** Demo, Live

**[Rate Limit](/api/authentication#request-rate-limits-and-time-penalties):** 500 requests per hour, 2-second back-off, counts all requests

Stops an Order Strategy that is already running, identified by its `orderStrategyId`, and cancels its remaining working orders. Order strategies are the multi-bracket constructs created with [`startOrderStrategy`](/api/rest-api-endpoints/orders/start-order-strategy). Use this endpoint to terminate the whole strategy; to change a strategy's parameters while keeping it running, use [`modifyOrderStrategy`](/api/rest-api-endpoints/orders/modify-order-strategy) instead.

The request body requires only `orderStrategyId`. Interrupting a strategy stops the strategy logic and cancels its open orders, but it does not flatten any position the strategy has already opened — close that separately with [`liquidatePosition`](/api/rest-api-endpoints/orders/liquidate-position) if needed.

As with other order commands, success is not guaranteed — the strategy may already have completed or its orders may already have filled. The endpoint returns an `OrderStrategyStatusResponse`. When the request is rejected, the response carries a `failureReason` and an `errorText` describing the problem; on success the response includes the updated `orderStrategy`.

**Common Failure Scenarios**

- The strategy already completed or was interrupted (`TooLate`).
- Another command for the strategy is still being processed (`AnotherCommandPending`).
- The user isn't permitted to trade this account (`Unauthorized`).

**Error Messages**

| `failureReason` | Trigger |
|-----------------|---------|
| `TooLate` | The strategy already completed or was interrupted. |
| `AnotherCommandPending` | A previous command for this strategy hasn't completed. |
| `Unauthorized` | The user isn't permitted to trade this account. |

See the `failureReason` enum in the `OrderStrategyStatusResponse` schema for the complete list of values.
