Hi, Thank you for the reply. Before posting the question, I also did some search at the at forum and IBC read me section, but I could not find the answer.
I found some real time trail stop management samples from Barry. To avoid the possible internet disconnection, I would prefer to place the trail stop as attached orders with my entry orders. I'd appreciate it very much If someone could show me the correct way to place Trail order through IBc. --- In [email protected], reinsley <reins...@...> wrote: > > > Many answers in the forum "Auto Trading": > > [email protected] > > Best regards > > > > Le 13/04/2010 16:58, XIAOFEI a écrit : > > > > Has anyone here using IBC to place trail orders? > > > > I tried different following( I plan to have 3 points above selling > > price as trail order): > > SellOrderID=ibc.PlaceOrder( "TFM0-NYBOT-FUT", "Sell", 1, "LMT", > > LastValue(C), 0, GTC, False ); > > ibc.PlaceOrder("TFM0-NYBOT-FUT", "Buy", 1, "TRAIL", 0, 3, "GTC", True, > > 1000, "", SellOrderID ); > > > > Or > > SellOrderID=ibc.PlaceOrder( "TFM0-NYBOT-FUT", "Sell", 1, "LMT", > > LastValue(C), 0, GTC, False ); > > ibc.PlaceOrder("TFM0-NYBOT-FUT", "Buy", 1, "TRAIL", 3, 3, "GTC", True, > > 1000, "", SellOrderID ); > > > > Or > > SellOrderID=ibc.PlaceOrder( "TFM0-NYBOT-FUT", "Sell", 1, "LMT", > > LastValue(C), 0, GTC, False ); > > ibc.PlaceOrder("TFM0-NYBOT-FUT", "Buy", 1, "TRAIL", 0, > > LastValue(Trailprice), "GTC", True, 1000, "", SellOrderID > > );//Trailprice=C+3; > > > > All above orders are transmitted and placed by IB, but none of them > > work as the way should be.
