This is a problem with nomenclature. Your order is not open, but you have an open position.
You were correct in your first email. To close the position just do the opposite in a new order.

Hi,
i place an order and i get the following:
ExecDetails. ReqId: -1 - EUR, CASH, USD - 000132b0.64c2e326.01.01, 9, 20000, 20000, 2
OrderStatus. Id: 9, Status: Filled, Filled: 20000, Remaining: 0, AvgFillPrice: 1.10343, PermId: 1476143489, LastFillPrice: 1.10343, ClientId: 0, WhyHeld: , MktCapPrice: 0
This states (i'm not mistaken) that the sent order was executed. If i check the tws server there is a position with -20.000 (as it was a sell order).
Then i try to close it by executing ->? m_pClient->cancelOrder(m_orderId, "");
It states: Error. Id: 9, Code: 10147, Msg: OrderId 9 that needs to be cancelled is not found.
As i see it, the order is still open. If i send a buy order with +20.000 in quantity i can close it.
Cancel implies for me, that if the order isn't executed i can cancel it but not to close an opened order
regards,
