I have discovered by experience that if OrderType is other than the "Market", then in case order placement was successful, the Result=sc.BuyOrder(NewTargetOrder) will show either positive OR NEGATIVE quantity of successfully submitted order. I first found this out for OCO orders, and then Limit and Stop. What puzzled me also is that in case OrderType=LIMIT, the successfully submitted sc.SellOrder, will generate a positive result. What is the logic? |

That was in contrast to what SC manuals say (function) Returns: A return value > 0 indicates the order was successfully submitted. If the value is > 0, then this value indicates the quantity of the submitted order. If the return value is negative, < 0, the order submission was ignored. |

The documentation is correct. If the value is negative, there has been an error. This is definitive. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

I can see orders placed, open, modified, filled/cancelled as they should...There does not seem to be an error. This is for Stops/Limits/OCO_LIMIT_STOP...I did not check the other ones.. |
