Re: OCA order types and place in order queue
It appears that the default behavior (if you don't specify ocaType) is non-blocking, reduce proportionally. If I don't specify ocaType, I get the behavior as you described. And if I set ocaType to 3

Re: OCA order types and place in order queue
I actually haven't researched scenarios with multiple contracts or
more than 2 orders in the oca group. I use separate orders (and oca

Re: OCA order types and place in order queue
The ocaType is in the C++ API documentation for the Order structure (also in IOrder for ActiveX and I assume similar for other languages). There are 2 blocking types, which guarantee that only 1 order

Re: OCA order types and place in order queue
Hmm. I use oca all the time and the limit orders are on the exchange.
I didn't know there were 'oca types' so maybe that changes how orders

Re: OCA order types and place in order queue
When I mouse over the profit exit, it says the order is being held and monitored just like the stop order. The row for the order on TWS shows the status column as dark blue, where if I place a single

Re: OCA order types and place in order queue
Limit orders are native to globex so your profit exit will be at the
exchange. This has nothing to do with oca.
The stop is not native so it must be simulated by ib.
If you mouse over the profit

I'm working on using OCA for my profit and loss orders. It appears that once I set the orders up with an OCA group, they aren't actually sitting at the exchange but rather are on an IB server waiting

This is the method you should call to request account updates

Re: Connect to TWS in main not in Thread (Java)
I mainly suggested you choose wisely for your own needs.
If synchronization *is* a bitch and you are using 2 threads and one handles
incoming socket messages and the other is handling incoming GUI

Re: VB6 TWS ActiveX Vs. IB Gateway
I don't know VB, but think it doesn't matter.

Re: C# Option Contract Details

C# Option Contract Details

That looks fine, I'm happy that I've got what I need now to download data, havn't been able to retrieve an option chain but I've come up with a workaround that is quicker.
