Re: Order issue : log is difficult to understand

I did not read the whole log. But the quick cancellation was a bug in a prior version. From another post i know you are not using latest version. Please update and check if the problem still exists. Just one hint: The bridge never "syncs" back to MetaTrader. It is read only. Also, never run an ib_or...

Re: IB Order type: bracket order ?

I didn't say obsolete. You still can use it and i am sure also in the coming years.
But it is not further developped. When IB adds a new features to their IB,
TWSLink is not adjusted.

The Perl wrapper was an exception.

Yes, it is matured. Since years. You can test it 3 weeks for free.

Re: IB Order type: bracket order ?

Hello, you miss some ordertypes because TWSLink is no longer developped. It is only changed for bugfixing. Nevertheless, you will certainly be able to use it for a while yet. However, bracket orders are not an own ordertype. You create a brackt order by creating a master order with transmit=0, a tar...

Re: Best way to confirm buying power before issuing order??

It is just a status telling you the order is wating for getting submitted. For instance stop orders have presubmitted status. When stop price is triggered, they get submitted as market and up to fill they have status submitted. In our case this is not important. The status messages in only a feedbac...

Re: Best way to confirm buying power before issuing order??

No. Option a) Do the reverse in 2 steps. close order and open short order. Option b) Use whatif order in order to determine if you can do the reverse in one step. If using b), just take the sequence i posted, so no need to wait for filled status. A whatif order (in my test) complete with presubmitte...

Re: Best way to confirm buying power before issuing order??

Sorry,need to revise my post about whatif. You get the information back, so for instance the margin impact of the order. Here is the sequence in the batchtester: REGISTER_CONTRACT("EUR","CASH","JPY","IDEALPRO","","","",0,"",0,0) CONNECT("",7496,1,1000) PLACE_ORDER(50005,0,"BUY","MKT",50000,0,0.0,"GT...

- GET_ACC_VAL You can provide a comma separated list of accounts and you get the sum. Don't know if it works with master account, i guess not. Please give it a try. (Dont know how this should be related to algos) - what_if well, you get status callback along with commissions and margin information a...

Re: Issues related to using perl with TWslink

I think the important message in the log is:
"20180110 23:17:29:540; 7992;error;API;;API-error: the contract description specified for msft is ambiguous. code=200 id=11"

Please checkout using NASDAQ as exchange in REGISTER_CONTRACT instead of "SMART".

Re: Issues related to using perl with TWslink

Hello Sir, i am very sorry but win xp is not longer supported. Also in win7 and win 8.1 i do not longer any tests because Microsoft pushes Windows 10. Also 32 bit architecture is deprecated. Please move to a 64 bit Windows 10. It will remove various problems. If you have concerns about privacy, ther...

Re: New release of TWS causing problems ??

The main problem is TradeStation (TS), because TS splits into multiple cores. I believe they did this, because they feared the effort to turn their 32 bit code into 64 bit code. As a result you have multiple 32 bit processes instead of one 64 bit process, which has "no" memory limits. They "sell" it...

Re: New release of TWS causing problems ??

Have you checked TS settings, where you can define how many processes created.
If you miss a TWSLink call in the log, it seems that TWSLink is not loaded here.

Re: Additional license

Thank you for feedback. If you need multiple processes for any reason, you could try to make a connection with different clientid but always use the same clientid for same symbols. So, if you know, symbol A,B,C are always hosted in same process, do the connection with clientid_A_B_C. TWS allows up t...
