Tradestation API

[roi888]

Hey guys
does anyone use Tradestation API?

I am having difficulties in understanding the reply I get for market order,
and the documentation is not that clear.

for example, I want to send OSO and monitor it's execution and by a specific condition to be able to cancel it.
for the above order I"m getting a bunch of id's,
and don't know which is which?
In my application I need to check if the main order was fulfilled or else cancel it. Which id should I choose to cancel?
Also, at a certain point I would like to update the BUYTOCOVER Limit to become BUYTOCOVER Market, how do I find the id of my BUYTOCOVER order
among the four id's I received?

I would suggest going to the tab

Help>>Get Help>>Platform Trading

From there, at the top you will see more Tabs. Go to

Place Trades>>Trade Bar>>Trade Bar Orders>>OCO/OSO Orders>><Choose one of the drop downs from here>

I only utilize Chart Trading and OCO orders.

I work directly in the Ewrapper class.
for example to check if my order is executed, in the orderopen method which called each time an order is opened I can add this condition.

if ((contract.symbol) .equals ("ES") && order.Action () == "BUY" && orderState.getstate () == "Filled")
{ comptpostion + = 1;
idorder = orderId;

}
so in the main function I can check comptpostion to check if we have Es and already sent or not. I can also use the variable idorder which contains the identifier of the order to modify or cancel the order. with ib api to close an order just send a reverse order
