Places a market order at the broker immediately after the script calculation without position changing on the chart.

Usage

PlaceMarketOrder(IsBuy, IsEntry, Contracts)

Where:

IsBuy - indicates whether order is buy or sell;
IsEntry - indicates whether order is entry or exit;
Contracts - indicates the number of contracts/shares of the order.

Notes

  • Works only with auto trading turned on.
  • Can be used as a mean of synchronization of strategy market position with a broker.
  • Also see the related ChangeMarketPosition keyword.

Example

If MarketPosition = 2 then 
   PlaceMarketOrder(true, true, 2);

Will place buy market order for 2 contracts if current MarketPosition = 2.
