Buy appearing on chart, but not getting variables back

[KingSerk]

Hi,

my buy and sell orders are appearing on the chart, but I'm getting null values from my orders.

nQty = Math.round(50000/open(0));      
orderID = Trade.buyMarket({qty: nQty}); 

PrintOrder(orderID);
Qty:          5784
FillQty:      null
FillPrice:    null
Time:         null
isStopLimit:  false
isStop:       false
isLimit:      false
isSell:       true
isSell:       false
isBuy:        true
Route:        null
Limit:        null
Stop:         null 

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Order Placement

Without seeing content of your PrintOrder function it is difficult to see what the problem is...


I think that the trading symbol is incorrectly mapped to your broker symbol.

Please go to your Menu: Broker Management/Dictionary and Order Defaults and review the mappings.
Please also check Order Defaults on the screen

To see which order got executed, please check
Menu: Trade/Account Management, go trough TABS: messages, trades
and it should be quite clear, which order was received, to which account it was routed, and which symbol was traded



I would also suggest to explicitly pass as many parameters as possible to buyMarket Order
to ensure that the order is routed to right account, symbol and connection

defaults do not always work...


Sample code:

if (Connection.isConnected())
{

OrderId = Trade.buyMarket(
{
"symbol": getSymbol(),
"qty": nQty,
"account": Trade.getCurrentAccount(),
"connectionID": Trade.getCurrentConnectionID()
}

if (OrderId == null)
{
debugPrintln("**** ERROR **** OrderId is null on Long entry "
+ getSymbol(),
" qty ", nQty,
" account ", Trade.getCurrentAccount(),
" connectionID ", Trade.getCurrentConnectionID()
);
}
else // Successfully placed order
{
if (lDebug)
debugPrintln("buyMarket OrderId:", OrderId, " ",
+ getSymbol(),
" qty ", nQty,
" account ", Trade.getCurrentAccount(),
" connectionID ", Trade.getCurrentConnectionID(),
" OrderId " , OrderId
);
}
}
}
