Re: [amibroker] IBC sending two orders, but should send only one

[Edward Pottasch]

hi,   since you check for the positionsize this should not happen.  Each time the active chart is updated it will send this order again. Once it is executed the positionsize should change to zero. So it seems to me that two orders (or chart refreshes) follow eachother before the positionsize change is known to the system.  It does not sound very scientific but I see strange things happening (which should not be able to occur) with the IBc as well that I can't explain.  I got a faster internet connection and many of my problems have disappeared. But still strange things happen. Especially if Amibroker is in the process of backfilling data en the code below can not perform a calculation because there is not sufficient data. The software enters conditional statements that should not be possible. Still it does ....   regards, Ed         ----- Original Message ----- From: rhoemke To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, September 30, 2006 7:24 PM Subject: [amibroker] IBC sending two orders, but should send only one Hello, i got this code for putting automatic Stop when detecting an open position, but it sends two stop orders at once. someone who can help me? thank you in advance Robetr //Auto-Trailstop L_Trailstop = Ref(L,-1); //or whatever S_Trailstop = Ref(H,-1); //or whatever ibc = GetTradingInterface("IB"); if(ibc.isconnected()) { Position = ibc.getpositionsize(Name()); if( Position < 0 ) { OrderID = StaticVarGetText("OrderID" + Name()); OrderID = ibc.ModifyOrder(OrderID, Name(), "BUY", -Position, "STP", 0, LastValue(S_Trailstop), "DAY", False, TickSize*100); StaticVarSetText("OrderID" + Name(), OrderID); } if(Position > 0 ) { OrderID = StaticVarGetText("OrderID" + Name()); OrderID = ibc.ModifyOrder(OrderID, Name(), "SELL", Position, "STP", 0, LastValue(L_Trailstop), "DAY", False, TickSize*100); StaticVarSetText("OrderID" + Name(), OrderID); } } __._,_.___ Please note that this group is for discussion between users only.
