Native OCO and IOG mode

Postby darob » 09 Jul 2016

Hi, does IOG mode enable/disable affect native OCO orders or does it only work on OCO's MC simulates?

Thanks

Hi Dave,
I use interactive brokers, which supports native OCO orders. IOG functionality works as expected.
Thanks
Erol

So with it disabled your stop only triggers on bar close?

Correct, if I had IOG disabled -as I used to have- then the stop price gets updated only at the close of the bar.

Recently I enabled IOG. I update the price of my stop order inside the bar as needed. The order is at the server. So it gets triggered when the price is hit even if i am disconnected. In my case I directly set the price of the stop order instead of setting the loss or profit amount. I can see my orders moving right on the chart real time.

On the interactive brokers user interface, I see my orders being cancelled and replaced each time MC updates my order.

What is the functionality you want to have?

I think I've confused order generation and order triggering. Probably didn't have to enable it on my stops, I wonder if this is why my target is being rejected.

Later
Thanks
