Hi Support,
JFOREX api provides submitOrder method to place buy market/sell market order which doesn't take any slippage as a input parameter.
on same line, Is there any way I can place market stop order? (I don't want to use slippage, I just want to execute order once stop is hit)
I see , all versions of submitOrder method to place stop order takes slippage as input parameter which makes it impossible to place pure market stop order.

of course, work around is to use very big slippage so that stop limit order will always get executed as market. But I don't want to specify slippage at all.

Hi,

Yes, any IEngine.submitOrder, but with slippage -1

I tried buy market order by using -1 as slippage still it takes default slippage 0.0005

Thanks but it is not working.

This is a sample code I am using:
engine.submitOrder(label, instrument, IEngine.OrderCommand.BUY, amount, 0, -1);

This is a message I am getting:
05:33:25 Order FILLED at 0.98591 CAD (#51632803 BUY 0.01 mil. AUD/CAD @ MKT MAX SLIPPAGE 0.0005) - Position #180345AUD/CAD

As you said there should be no slippage but still it takes slippage as 0.0005.

If I Buy using JFOREX platform directly without using slippage control, below are the messages I get:
2010-10-06 05:41:59 Order FILLED at 0.98592 CAD (#51637371 BUY 0.01 mil. AUD/CAD @ MKT) - Position #180345AUD/CAD
2010-10-06 05:43:24 Order BUY 10000 AUD/CAD @ MKT is sent at 2010-10-06 05:43:24.695 GMT manually

I want to place order exactly same way as JFOREX platform. Are there any APIs used only by JFOREX platform and not available to JOFOREX api programmers??

Sorry, it seems setting very big slippage is the only way right now
