  • DAX futures can not be traded on sim account

    I am placing buy market order for FDAX U5-EUX using
    OrderId = Trade.buyMarket(
    {
    "symbol": getSymbol(), "qty": nQty,
    "account": Trade.getCurrentAccount(),
    "connectionID": Trade.getCurrentConnectionID()
    });
    When connecting to in build demo accounts EFS-AT stops executing with error:
    Some order fields are wrong: Trigger Method

    Hi AdamS01,

    The 'Trigger Method' is a required field for the 'Stop'/'StopLimit' types of orders of the 'eSignal Paper Trading' broker. For this field EFS-AT uses a value which is specified in 'Order Defaults' for a symbol.
    If you put an empty value in this field and lock the confirmation of EFS orders then when you place a 'Stop'/'StopLimit' order you will get the error that you referenced in your post: 'Some order fields are wrong: Trigger Method'.

    With regards to the case described in your post - when you try to place MARKET order and get this error - it is an incorrect behavior.
    This field should be ignored for the 'Market'/'Limit' types of orders.
    We have created a ticket in our bug-tracker to fix this.
