I have my code working for placing bracket orders for FOREX.
Here is a snippet;
BuyOrderID = ibc.PlaceOrder(
Name(), "Buy", Units, "MKT", 0, 0,
"GTC", False);
LimitOrderID = ibc.PlaceOrder( Name
(), "Sell", Units, "LMT", BuyTarget, 0,
"GTC", False, 1, "", BuyOrderID );
StopOrderID = ibc.PlaceOrder( Name
(), "Sell", Units, "STP", IBBuyStop,
IBBuyStop, "GTC", True, 1, "", BuyOrderID );
StaticVarSetText("BuyOrderID" + Name
(),BuyOrderID);
StaticVarSetText("LimitOrderID" + Name
(),LimitOrderID);
StaticVarSetText("StopOrderID" + Name
(),StopOrderID);
StaticVarSetText("LastTrade" + Name
(), "Buy");
SetChartBkColor( colorBrightGreen ) ;
Say("Buy position, "+ FullName());
