I checked it always outside MetaTrader and got the comment with both function calls.
But when testing in MetaTrader, i also get no comment returned.
Sorry for this. Need to investigate.

Re: Managing multiple positions - is there a "comment" field in position?
Are you sure there are strict pending orders for that conid ?
Strict means, you can see them in TWS with one of the pending status colors (blue,green)

This function makes only sense, when prior called:
Have you done this ?
Code: Select all

Re: Managing multiple positions - is there a "comment" field in position?
A position is an accumulation of executions.
There is always only one position per Symbol.
ibgORDER_SEND_STR
has a field where you can set a comment. This comment is pegged to order (and execution).
The atribute identfier is 49 -> see help of IBPlugin.
But you can not peg a comment to a position.

Re: -1 return value of ibgCREATE_POSITION_SNAPSHOT in IB dem/live account
Hello,
In the call of
ibgCREATE_POSITION_SNAPSHOT(__conid);
it seems you pass a contract uid, which is wrong.
Pass a connection id, the same you pass for function
ibgCONNECT

Re: Market orders in TWS when Limit order filled in MT4
You could disable limit orders when attaching ib_order_copy. Copy only MKT orders=true This makes a limit order is ignored. But when this limit order gets filled, a MKT order is placed at IB. ---- I believe, that a limit fill at MT in any case forces a MKT at TWS. (Turns LMT into MKT). To test this,...

Re: How do I manage my position like MQL5
Orders that are not in the new pending list, are filled, cancelled or invalid.
If you have an uid, you can call:
to get order status.
The order uid is a 64 bit integer.
On TradeStation / MultiCharts, you need to store it in a double variable.
On MetaTrader in a long variable.
If you have an uid, you can call:
Code: Select all
ibgORDER_STATUS(uid)

Hello, with IB it works a bit differently. To get a position, you need to know the symbol. ibgPOSITIONS(uidc...) uidc is the symbol id.
