Hi

We are struggling with trailing stop orders.

Here is the part of the code where we set the trailing parameters

if (order.TrailTicks > 0 && order.OrderType == JTEnumerations.OrderType.Stop)
{

myOrderDraft.SetTSData(myOrderDraft.Contract.CurrentPrice.LastPrice, (double)(order.TrailTicks - myOrderDraft.Contract.TickSize));
}

OEC.API.OrderParts myInvalidOrderParts = myOrderDraft.GetInvalidParts();

if (myInvalidOrderParts != OEC.API.OrderParts.None)
{
JTLogger.AppLog("JTOECOrderHandler.OrderSubmit: Order Error - myInvalidOrderParts: " + myInvalidOrderParts.ToString());
}


What's happening is we always end up with the "Extendedparameters" error coming back from GetInvalidParts

Any idea what we are doing wrong?

We are testing with a demo futures account with the ESM8 contract.

Cheers

Pete

Hi Pete. Sorry to hear you're having trouble. We have plans to improve OrderDraft validation feedback but it's still a ways away.

I'm thinking that you need to set myOrderDraft.Type to either TrailingStopLimit or TrailingStopLoss.

Best regards,
Seth
