Placing Orders

[Mark Rockley]

Does anyone have an example of placing orders using C#?

There is obviously some syntax involving flags and hooks type events, but it is challenging to translate this from the visual basic documentation.

Hi Mark,

As it is documented, you can't place orders via the eSignal ActiveX control. What it does is inform you application via an ActiveX event when an order is placed from within the main eSignal client application. As far as I can tell, if you want to send an order from your app then you will need to interface directly to the broker yourself. That is how my app works for now.

It looks a bit like they might eventually add order entry through the API, otherwise I'm not sure why the notification stuff is there now. But, we'd need to ask eSignal to know for sure what the plan is in regards to that.

Cheers... George

Thanks for your help. Untill the 'add order entry' through the API is
implemented I have chosen to use a different dataprovider.

Best Regards,

Hi Bode,

ESignal has a thread were they are looking for suggested enhancements to the API. Please feel free to put order entry on the list since it is important to you.
