Hello,
I'm interested in implementing a switch from short to long (and vice versa) in one operation. is it doable using the API?
currently, i'm using the following code to send an order. Is it correct, or am I missing some steps?

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

d.Side = OEC.Data.OrderSide.Buy;
d.Quantity = 1;// (int)nQty.Value;
d.Contract = oecClient1.Contracts["ESZ9"];
d.Type = OEC.Data.OrderType.Market;
OEC.API.OrderParts res = d.GetInvalidParts();
if (res != OEC.API.OrderParts.None)
throw new Exception(string.Format("Invalid values in {0}", res));

OEC.API.Order order = oecClient1.SendOrder(d);
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


Best regards,
YBar

Yes, you can reverse your position using one order.

you need to set the order quantity to 2 to reverse from short 1 to long 1.
