Limit orders, placing limit orders with a certain distance from market price


 

Hi! I'm developing using the TWS APIs an application to manage/input orders from Excel.

The problem I have now is that inputting orders manually via official TWS? dashboard seems to work "fine" for limit orders: I can, for instance, enter a limit price 10% lower than current best bid price.

Using the APIs it seems I cannot and I have to enter prices much closer to the actual market price? ( best current bid for instance)

Any help on what could be I am missing??
Thanks


 

----Using the APIs it seems I cannot----what do you mean by that? if order was rejected-there is has to be a? message from API with a reason for rejection
