I am having trouble submitting a trailing stop order.
I looked at the conversation in the following thread:

http://www.openecry.com/cfbb/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=532

I have tried following the example above, but I cannot get it to work. I am using YMU3 in this case and the current price is: 14776

draft->Type = OEC::Data::OrderType::TrailingStopLoss;
draft->Price = 10;
draft->SetTSData(14776, 0);

I get a confirmation that the order is accepted, but immediately after the order is rejected with the message "Invalid absolute offset"

Is there something that I am doing wrong? Did I mis-interpret this thread?

I checked a couple of your trailing orders - you need to change Buy to Sell to make these orders with such price acting like a stop
