Hello !

I have few questions regarding conditional orders:

I'm using this method for order submit:

IOrder submitOrder(String label,
Instrument instrument,
IEngine.OrderCommand orderCommand,
double amount,
double price,
double slippage,
double stopLossPrice,
double takeProfitPrice,
long goodTillTime)

While sending some future price, I should specify BUYSTOP or SELLSTOP as an order command. BUT - the API doc specifies that when using "goodTillTime" field - the order command should be PLACE BID or PLACE OFFER.

1. Can't it work with BUY-STOP / SELL-STOP / BUY-STOP-BYBID / SELL-STOP-BYBID ? - How do I specify BID/ASK in that case ?
2. Is there any delta limitation that might cause order rejection if the price specified is too 'far' or too 'close' to the current price besides the slippage (which will be set to 25 by default..)?
3. If I hold the Order's label - can it be used later on to cancel the
order, due to some occasion, if haven't been executed already ?

Best regards,

Rony

No, it can't, but your strategy can implement that. See example strategy:
You specify the open price condition with price parameter. Whether it is BID or ASK, depends on the OrderCommand.
No, but your strategy can check that. If the price condition is already met when the order arrives on server, then it is subject to immediate execution i.e. fill.
Yes, see:

All clear to me now.
Thank you !
