In redmode/quantstrat: Quantitative Strategy Model Framework

#' rule to revoke(cancel) an unfilled limit order on a signal
#' 
#' As described elsewhere in the documentation, quantstrat models 
#' \emph{orders}.  All orders in quantstrat are GTC orders, which means that
#' unfilled limit orders have to be canceled manually or replaced by other orders.
#' 
#' This function is used for revoking or canceling the orders based on a signal.  
#' Order status will be changed to 'revoked', to separate it from cancelations or
#' replacements from other causes.  This may make it easier it decipher the order book 
#' to figure out what the strategy ewas doing.
#' 
#' @param data an xts object containing market data.  depending on rules, may need to be in OHLCV or BBO formats, and may include indicator and signal information
#' @param timestamp timestamp coercible to POSIXct that will be the time the order will be inserted on 
#' @param sigcol column name to check for signal
#' @param sigval signal value to match against
#' @param orderside one of either "long" or "short", default NULL, see details 
#' @param orderset tag to identify an orderset
#' @param portfolio text name of the portfolio to place orders in
#' @param symbol identifier of the instrument to revoke orders for
#' @param ruletype must be 'risk' for ruleRevoke, see \code{\link{add.rule}}
