Place order sequence

Postby joenetic » 29 Aug 2017

I read MC.Net programming guide and learned that MC.Net places limit or stop order on the next tick or price update after the algo condition is valid, this sequence is formed by MC or broker API? Any way to place limit or stop orders once the algo condition is valid? I am using IB as data provider and broker.

Hi joenetic,

One possible way to place orders, once the algo condition is valid, is to use MultiCharts.Net's PlaceOrder method (see ITradeManager interface, TradingProfiles Property). Please refer to this page for Test_TradeManager_4 example by Stan Bokov:
viewtopic.php?f=20&t=10730

Pro: You can control and manage your orders.
Con: Tracking and managing orders properly can be complicated.

Hi Harrison,

Thank you for your reply and information!! I will check this out!

I hope that Multicharts staff can also reply me since I paid Multicharts for the software and hope to get the support from the team.

Hello Joe,

You don't need to call Orders_FinishChanging in your code, it is being called by MultiCharts.
