RE: Query regarding order Types.

Hello,
Sometimes, limit orders can convert to market orders when triggered, depending on the API or platform you're using. To fix this, ensure that you explicitly specify the order types in your script and check the API documentation for any nuances related to order execution.

Regarding the orderId, it should remain the same throughout the order's lifecycle. However, discrepancies like receiving an Executionevent with orderId 0 or positionId 0 might indicate issues with how the API handles execution events or how your script processes these events. Proper logging and handling of these events can help resolve these discrepancies.

Hi , Thanks for info.  I have been seeing that order request sent is limit order always, when order gets accepted they are getting converted as different order sometimes why ? Is that the issue with ctrader open api ?

Hi there, 

You cannot set a trailing stop loss using FIX API. If you need to set a trailing stop loss, you should use Open API instead.

Best regards,

Hi Can I get any samples of code having trailing stop loss using this Open API.

You can find Python samples of Open API in the link below

https://github.com/spotware/OpenApiPy

Trailing stop loss is set in ProtoOANewOrderReq.trailingStopLoss property

I tried  trailing stop loss using open API..even I'm setting true for trailing stop loss in a function to place order..it is set to false by default . What to do? Isn't there a way to use trailing stop loss. Is it  a bug for trailing stop loss which is set to by default False even we're assigning it to true or am i not using the same.
This is my implementation part of code where trailingstoploss is used ..Please check..

def sendProtoOANewOrderReq(self, symbolId, orderType, tradeSide, volume, price=None,stopLoss =None, trailingStopLoss=True, clientMsgId=None):
    request = ProtoOANewOrderReq()
    request.ctidTraderAccountId = self.currentAccountId
    request.symbolId = int(symbolId)
    request.orderType = ProtoOAOrderType.Value(orderType.upper())
    request.tradeSide = ProtoOATradeSide.Value(tradeSide.upper())
    request.volume = int(volume) * 100

    if orderType.upper() == "LIMIT":
        request.limitPrice = float(price)
    elif orderType.upper() == "STOP":
        request.stopPrice = float(price)

    if stopLoss:
        request.stopLoss = int(stopLoss)

    #if trailingStopLoss:
       # request.trailingStopLoss = int(trailingStopLoss)

    deferred = self.client.send(request, clientMsgId=clientMsgId)
    deferred.addErrback(self.onError)

def sendNewMarketOrder(self, symbolId, tradeSide, volume,price=None ,stopLoss=None, trailingStopLoss=None, clientMsgId=None):
    self.sendProtoOANewOrderReq(symbolId, "LIMIT", tradeSide, volume,price=price, stopLoss=stopLoss, trailingStopLoss=True, clientMsgId=clientMsgId)
 

def placeOrder(self):
    eurusd_symbol_id = self.symbolIdMap.get("EUR/USD")
    if eurusd_symbol_id:
        #self.sendNewMarketOrder(symbolId=eurusd_symbol_id, tradeSide="BUY", volume=1000)
        self.sendNewMarketOrder(symbolId=eurusd_symbol_id, tradeSide="BUY", volume=1000,price=1.1060,stopLoss=1.1050,trailingStopLoss=True)
    else:
        print("Symbol ID for EUR/USD not found.")
