hi, whats the correct syntax for "Additional execInst" when using SC BitmexDTS? I keep recieving the "unexpected token" error with stop orders.

Where can I find a full list of commands to be specified?

TY

version : SC 2068 service package5

You will find the specific text strings to use in the BitMex API documentation on the BitMex website.

Yes but I still recieve unexpected token error,

for example when I input: FillOrKill into Sierra DTS(additional execInst) the SC trade activity log returns with :

Order  2020-04-03 12:07:53.351  XBTUSD-BMEX  XBTUSD-BMEX[M] 10 Min #3 | User order entry | Last: 6970.5  8540    Stop  1  Buy  6900.0    Order Sent      [deletedAccNo]  Open    1441        Petka v procentu.twconfig  
Order  2020-04-03 12:07:53.589  XBTUSD-BMEX  New order rejected - BitMEX Trading Direct error: Unexpected token F in JSON at position 137  8540    Stop  1  Buy  6900.0    Error      [deletedAccNo] Open    1441        Petka v procentu.twconfig

--------- THE log has been modified to exclude my account number.

I will find API commands myself but I still require your help with correct syntax. I am not a programmer myself.

We do not think that is a valid Execution instruction . Instead it is a Time in Force. You can select that within Sierra Chart through the Trade Window:

Yes you are right, it was not a valid instruction. Apologies for taking up unnecessary time.
