IB Plugin Question

[glay]

Is there any way to send special orders via the IB plugin to IB. Like FOK, AUCTION etc? I'd like to send a limit order to IB and if that order does not fill in 1 minute, have it convert to a market order. There are a few nifty order types in TWS that I can probably use to accomplish that but I only see mkt and limit in esignal.

Any ideas of how to get around this?

Order Type & Time-in-Force Options

Hi Glay,

If you download the most recent IB plugin from
http://pmd.esignal.com/ib ("software download"),
you'll find different order types such as PEGMKT, VWAP, TRAIL, and time-in-force options like IOC (immediate or cancel, aka, "fill or kill"), or "GTD" ("good till date", which let's you select when the order expires).

Let me know if that answers your question. If I can provided further assistence, send me an email [email protected] with a good time to call.

Thanks,
