What is AlgoId for?

Richard L King Member Profile All Messages By This Member #51869 开云体育 Does anyone know what the Order.AlgoId attribute is for? ? It’s a String value that you can set on an order before you place the order. It is sent to TWS with the rest of the order attributes, but it’s never sent back again, so the OpenOrder() callback, for example, doesn’t return it. ? The documentation just says “Identifies orders generated by algorithmic trading.”, which is pretty much meaningless. ? I could understand if it were a useful tag for API clients to document the algorithm that generated an order, but that would only be useful if it were returned in OpenOrder() and ExecutionData() callbacks. ? Any insights appreciated! ? Richard

That said, I couldn't see an "algo id" field in the flex query builder so my next guess is they kindly obfuscated the name. It was mentioned, briefly, in the . A more authoritative answer is certainly welcome.
