| API Support » ExecInst is missing from the Order class Mar 25, 2011 @ 10:10 AM (Total replies: 1) | |||||
|
In OrderDraft, the property Flags can be set to one of None, GTC, FOK or IOC (from the OEC.Data.OrderFlags enum). Also in OrderDraft, the property ExecInst can be set to one of None or AON (from the OEC.Data.ExecInst enum). All of that is good. But when your API reports the order status back to me, it uses the Order class. That class has the Flags property, but it does not have the ExecInst property. So if I've submitted an AON order, when I get the status back, how does it report that it was AON? Paul |

Thank you for the info Victor. I've been looking at the API documentation for SymbolLookup and SymbolLookupCriteria. I also searched cs files in the Advanced example for both of those words, and they do not occur in the example. Can you give me more information on how to use the various criteria Mode values (eg. AnyInclusion, SymbolStartsWith, DescriptionStartsWith, AnyStartsWith, ExactMatch)? Is it possible to specify a range with SymbolStartWith, such as any symbol starting with A thru L? I'm assuming those modes use the SearchText property, but there is no documentation describing how. By the way, CHM that I have (dated 3/18/2010) does not have a page for OEC.Data.SymbolLookupMode. Thanks, Paul Paul |

After logging in, OECClient.Contracts does not contain any equity (stock) contracts. OECClient.ContractGroups that relate to equities, such as the Equities contract group, contains no Contract and no BaseContract objects. How do I get equity contracts to be included in the OECClient.Contracts list? Paul |

Victor, Thank you for the information. There are 3 ContractKind values that you did not mention -- Unknown, EquityIndex and Bond. I'm guessing EquityIndex would go with AccountType.Equity and Bond would go with a futures account type. Would that be correct? I'm assuming Unknown would never happen, but can I match that with a future account type also? Thanks, Paul Paul |

Victor, Yesterday I had submitted several orders for ESH1. However by the end of the day, my position was flat. This was prior to 6 PM EST yesterday. I just started my program for the first time today (3:50 PM EST). I did not subscribe to any contracts, yet I'm getting price updates for ESH1. The API confirms that I have no positions. Calling Unsubscribe for ESH1 does not stop the price updates. Paul Paul |

I've asked this question of Customer service and got a good answer, but let me also get your opinion. I have seen that some Accounts are for Forex, some for Futures and some for Equities. Using the Account object and Contract object (or the contract's ContractGroup), how can I determine which account should be used to place an order for a particular contract? For example, the logon I'm using has two accounts - one for FX and one for Futures. When I submit an order for ESH1, I need to use the Futures account, but when I submit an order for AUD/USD, I need to use the other account. What is the best way, at run time, using the Account and Contract objects to determine which account to use when submitting the order? Thanks Paul |

The API documentation for the Bar class (as used in the OnBarsReceived event) shows that each Bar has values for UpVolume, DownVolume, UpTicks and DownTicks. However in C# when I type"." and the pop up shows what methods are availalbe in a Bar object, those properties are not shown. (Volume and Ticks are shown.) So is the documentation wrong or do I have an old/bad dll? Thanks Paul |

Victor, Thank you for the reply. So to be sure I understand you, there is no way to stop those price updates. Will your system automatically stop them at some point? ever? Thanks, Paul Paul |

I see that after submitting an order for a contract, the server automatically subscribes me for price updates for that contract. This is actually documented in the API. But how can I stop getting these price updates? Calling OECClient.Unsubscribe() does not stop them. Oh, the position is that contract is flat. Thanks Paul |

Occasionally there are alert messages that need to be presented to traders - such as "The market is closing early today". How are such messages sent to the API? I don't want to get news and I don't want to get chat messages from other users, but I do want to get these kinds of alert messages. Thanks Paul |
