Handle bots stuck in "Waiting for orders"

[beer-k0in]

What is the preferred way to handle bots stuck in waiting orders?
GUNBOT v3.2 Patch 2022

My STRAT bot has placed a buy order in the moment the price went up again. The buy order is still in Poloniex and the bot is waiting.

6 hours later it looks like the bot want's to cancel the buy order "--canceling buy orders". But it did not work, the order is still in Poloniex:

So till now the bot is waiting.



What is the recommended way to handle this?

1) Restart the bot and have CANCEL_BUY_ORDERS_ON_START: false
2) Restart the bot and have CANCEL_BUY_ORDERS_ON_START: true
3) Let the bot run and cancel the order manually at Poloniex
4) Stop the bot, cancel the order manually, start the bot
5) Something completely different
