Problem with order in braketOrderSample.m #100

Open beppe969 opened 4 years ago

beppe969 commented 4 years ago

Hi First thanks again for this excellent software. I'm trying to get some experience with order placement and I tried your braketOrderSample.m script. However, I get the following error:

No public field m_symbol exists for class com.ib.client.Contract.

Error in bracketOrderSample (line 16) contract.m_symbol = 'SPY' ;

I tried changing contract.m_symbol to contract.symbol but I get the same type of error. Any hint would be appreciated. Thank you!

This line wasn't updated from the old API version. The newer API requires one of the following syntax': contract.symbol('SPY') or symbol(contract,'SPY')

Both shall work while the later is a little bit faster.

I'll try that, thanks!
