Can't place a order

[kshv190]

contract := new(ibapi.Contract) contract.Symbol = "MSFT" contract.Exchange = "SMART" contract.Currency = "USD" lmt := ibapi.NewLimitOrder("BUY", 244.26, 100) ic.PlaceOrder(newOrderId(), contract, lmt)

The order doesn't show on TWS nor get a openorder message

{"level":"info","ts":1670503751.6900978,"caller":"ibapi@v0.0.0-20210809041850-da8ceb5942c1/wrapper.go:656","msg":"","reqID":0,"errCode":10149,"errString":"Invalid order id: 0"}

The reason you can't is right there: invalid order id: 0. You have to start from 1 I think. And you have to increment by one each order you submit. @kshv190

The valid order id would be returned via IbWrapper.NextValidID once the client handshaked with ib gateway successfully.

Hi, I have the same issue. I'm trying to buy an AAPL stock but the operation does not show on the IBGateway log or TWS.

package main

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"
    "time"

    . "github.com/hadrianl/ibapi"
    "go.uber.org/zap"
)

func main() {
    var err error
    SetAPILogger(zap.NewDevelopmentConfig()) // log is default for production(json encode, info level), set to development(console encode, debug level) here
    log := GetLogger().Sugar()
    defer log.Sync()
    ibwrapper := &Wrapper{}

    ctx, _ := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), time.Second*30)

    ic := NewIbClient(ibwrapper)
    ic.SetContext(ctx)
    err = ic.Connect("127.0.0.1", 7497, 0) // 7497 for TWS, 4002 for IB Gateway
    if err != nil {
        log.Panic("Connect failed:", err)
    }

    ic.SetConnectionOptions("+PACEAPI")

    err = ic.HandShake()
    if err != nil {
        log.Panic("HandShake failed:", err)
    }

    ic.Run() // start ibclient's message loop

    fmt.Println("Going to place order...")
    aapl := Contract{ContractID: 265598, Symbol: "AAPL", SecurityType: "STK", Exchange: "NYSE"}
    ic.ReqContractDetails(ic.GetReqID(), &aapl)
    lmtOrder := NewLimitOrder("BUY", 144, 1)
    ic.PlaceOrder(ibwrapper.GetNextOrderID(), &aapl, lmtOrder)

    err = ic.LoopUntilDone()

    log.Info(err)
}

Thanks in advance

Franco, I may have a similar problem to you -- if you call ic.ReqOpenOrders(), does your order appear?

For me, it shows up in the (frustratingly under-documented) APIPending state with no indication of what might have caused that.

Further information: orders were working fine for me about a week before Franco's post (mid-August), but not when I came back from vacation last week (mid-September). My colleagues report that python library ibinsync continues to work as expected.

[icecolbeveridge]

Further to discussion on the TWS API list (hi Franco!), the problem seems to be that the highest server version available in ibapi is significantly behind the most up-to-date one. As I understand it, one difference is that IB currently requires Decimal types rather than float64s.

[hadrianl]

I would try to catch up with the highest server version

Hi everyone, I managed to execute MKT and LMT - BUY/SELL orders. I branched from master (stable version) for sharing purposes. Here is the link: https://github.com/francdoc/ibapi/tree/placeOrder_twsapi.10.19.01. This probably needs more work though.

Hope this helps.

[hadrianl]

@francdoc Thanks!

[francdoc]

Your welcome, @hadrianl. Awesome work on your Go implementation by the way. If anyone is curious, to make the update to hadrianl's source code I used the twsapi.10.19.01 C++ source files. That is how I found the missing fields for the placeOrder function in Go.

Hi @icecolbeveridge, yes. The order appears now. Check out the link I posted here, hope it helps.

Nice work, Franco! Thanks :-)

Your welcome Colin!

Hey @hadrianl, if you want I'd like to create a dedicated branch to make your source code fully compatible with the current stable twsapi (version 10.19.01). Do you think it's best to branch from 'master' or 'dev'? Or create a new github repo with a link to the original one as reference? Personally, I've been working more with 'master' lately, so I feel more comfortable working from there. Let me know what you think.

[hadrianl]

I think master is just fine

[hadrianl]

It seem that I`m missing the production release of tws api from 10.10 to 10.22

[francdoc]

Hi @hadrianl, ok. I’ll keep on working on a feature branch from master. When it becomes a stable release I will submit a pull request to your repo (master) so you can check it. Thanks.
