Automated Trading Questions IB

[doc11]

Hello,

1.) If I want to buy 20000 EURUSD at IB, is the code enough:

Enterlong(20000);

or must I convert the contract size?


2.) If I Send a order to IB, how do I make the order only 30 seconds valid?

You may need to convert to contract size.

If you want to cancel a market order you need to program it and use IOrders. When 30 seconds go by you call CancelOrder().

maybe they know exactly, whether I now Ordersize convert or not?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Right. It may be best for you to contact IB and ask them what you should submit at to get 20,000 contracts.

I have another Question.

In NinjaTrader tab "Accounts" I see my Live Account balance.

How can I this value in my Program Code using ?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

You cannot access account information from a strategy.
