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.

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
