Order, bracket order
Tutorial 169 demonstrates how to create a simple order ticket which is sent when the close of the bar is less than the open of the bar. When the initial order ticket is filled the program then issues a bracket order ticket that includes a target and stop. In order to send the bracket order the program uses an update event for the order generated from the order ticket.
In the simple scenario demonstrated in this tutorial, when the order ticket is filled the order update event updates the bracket order using the average filled price for the order ticket. It then sends the bracket order ticket. For the order placement objects to work the ‘enable order placement objects’ must be selected in the format indicator’s general tab.
Programming notes
The order ticket and bracket order tickets are created by dragging components from the toolbox to the component tray.
Some of the properties are then modified in the component’s properties.
Further modifications are made to the tickets’ properties in the program.
Watch the video below for a walk-through of the code.
