Re: Sell orders executing as soon as I buy
These are the ones. They assume the default method if not set.?
I think then mostly the problem is your prices. Some of the prices must be such that order's SL hits quickly?

Hi Pratik,
?
I do have the trigger price set but not trigger method. I have not encountered this field before, what are its possible values?

You need to add lines for?
triggerPrice and triggerMethod for stop order. I think that is unset.?
And check the prices again.
Last resort, place an order manually from IBKR TWS and then check the order object from API to know what exactly is needed in the order that you send.

Hi all, I am running a strategy, but my sell orders are being executed as soon as the buy orders are placed. I am trying to use trailing stop orders, but suspect am making an error somewhere. I did read the thread at/g/twsapi/topic/trail_limit_orders/34461744 but it did not help. Yes, the problem was different, but I was hoping I would get some ideas. Here is the order placing code. while not output_queue.empty(): ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? strategy_outputs.append(output_queue.get()) ? ? ? ? for output in strategy_outputs: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? contract = output["contract"] ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? trigger_price = round_to_multiple(output["stop_loss_price"], broker_multiple, "nearest") ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? price_upper_limit = 800? # Avoid buying too expensive stocks ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? order_quantity = 5 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ltp = output["last_closing_price"] ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? current_cash = getCash("U8034364") ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? amount_required_for_transaction = order_quantity * ltp ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? if output["current_signal"] == 1 and contract not in [i.contract for i in ib.openTrades()] and contract not in [i.contract for i in ib.positions()]: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? if current_cash > amount_required_for_transaction and ltp < price_upper_limit: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? # We have the money, so buy the stock ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? parent_order = LimitOrder("BUY", order_quantity, ltp, outsideRth=True, transmit=False) ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? parent_order.orderId = ib.client.getReqId() ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? stop_loss_order = StopOrder("SELL", order_quantity, trigger_price, parentId=parent_order.orderId, transmit=True) ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? stop_loss_order.tif = "GTC" ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? stop_loss_order.orderId = ib.client.getReqId() ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? stop_loss_order.adjustedOrderType = "TRAIL" ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? trail_amount = 0.08 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? stop_loss_order.adjustedTrailingAmount = trail_amount ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? stop_loss_order.adjustedStopPrice = trigger_price ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? parent_trade = ib.placeOrder(contract, parent_order) ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? stop_trade = ib.placeOrder(contract, stop_loss_order) ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? print("bought ",contract.symbol) ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? elif output["current_signal"] == -1 and contract in [i.contract for i in ib.positions()]: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? # Time to sell ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? positions = ib.positions() ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? for p in positions: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? if p.contract == contract: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? order_quantity = p.position ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? order_price = output["last_closing_price"] ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? parent_order = LimitOrder("SELL", order_quantity, order_price, outsideRth=True) ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? parent_trade = ib.placeOrder(contract, parent_order) ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? print("sold ",contract.symbol) ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ib.sleep(5)? # Cater to IB data downloading restrictions ? ? ? ? ib.disconnect() ? ? ? ? with open('reports/signal_file_daily_kalman_crossover_long_only_runner.csv', 'w', newline='') as f: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? writer = csv.writer(f) ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? if strategy_outputs: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? writer.writerow(strategy_outputs[0].keys()) ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? for dictionary in strategy_outputs: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? writer.writerow(dictionary.values()) ? ? ? ? print("Kalman crossover run complete") Pranav
