Hi,

Is the order number persistence? Last week, I opened two GTC orders in my account. In this week, I use the API to check open orders and I found that the order number of the two open orders had been changed. I would like to get a permanent reference number for each order and execution. Which field should I use to get this perm reference number?

My second question is how to use the trailing stop. The trailing stop in the OEC trader has a value called "Delta". What's that and how can I creat a trailing stop order in API? Do you have documentation regarding the trailing stop setup.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello,

Order.ID is persistent reference number. If you mean that this value was changed over weekend, could you please send me order numbers, I need to investigate this issue.

To create trailing stop order, you need to call http://www.openecry.com/api/api/OEC.API.OrderDraft.SetTSData.html to setup reference price and delta value (price threshold). Trailing stop logic uses Reference price as a base line when to start trailing of Stop price

Victor,

Thanks for the reply. I had traced the ORder.ID issue and found a bug in my software.

Thanks.
