IOrder Handling

[guillembm]

Hi,

when using iOrder handling, this line works perfectly:

MyOrder = ExitLong();

but not this one:

MyLimitOrder = ExitLongLimit(Price);

Why?

Hello,

Thanks for posting.

What error are you getting when using this?

I look forward to assisting you further.

I'm not getting any error.

I just want the limit order to set once so I use this code

if (MyLimitOrder == null)
{
MyLimitOrder = ExitLongLimit(Price);
}

The value for MyLimitOrder is not set and is always equal to null. So, the code is always accomplishing this condition.

Hello,

Are we sure that we are calling it every OnBarUpdate. Otherwise it will not run. Your if condition will not allow this order to remain in the market.

EnterLongLimit() needs to be called on every on bar update for the order to persist. otherwise it is cancelled.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks,

It was not an EnterLongLimit() order, it was a ExitLongLimit() as I wrote on the first post.

I generated the limit order just once. I thought it was permanent till cancel. Is Interactive Brokers willing to accept all my strategies sending a ExitLongLimit() order per second?

I just found the problem. I had a SetStopLoss order and it's not compatible with the limit order. Problem solved

thanks

Excellent.
