Places market order at the broker 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 with auto trading turned off. Can be used as a mean of synchronization of strategy market position with a broker.

Example

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

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