Re: Placing Trailing Stop Limit Orders

 

开云体育

Hi,

TWS documentation has good examples




And the order reference

I’m using it like this and it works,?trailing_percent=1.5

In your case, you are missing a few fields there. As per the example from TWS

order = Order()
order.action = action
order.orderType =?"TRAIL LIMIT"
order.totalQuantity = quantity
order.trailStopPrice = trailStopPrice
order.lmtPriceOffset = lmtPriceOffset
order.auxPrice = trailingAmount

Trailing Stop Limit orders can be sent with the trailing amount specified as an absolute amount, as in the example below, or as a percentage, specified in the trailingPercent field.

In any case, there is nothing like testing different options until it works.

Hello,

Anyone who uses this order type, can you please confirm whether this code is correct to create an order with 1% trail? Most interested in the 'trailingPercent' field i.e. whether to pass the percent value as 1 or 0.01.

Are there any other fields needed for the order to correctly execute?

Thanks so much!

trailingStopOrder = ibi.Order(action=closingAction, totalQuantity=acccountPosition.position, orderType='TRAIL LIMIT', trailingPercent=1, account=acccountPosition.account, outsideRth= True, tif= "DAY")
