Opening a position
01 Apr 2019, 04:42

Hello,

 

I have a doubt on the api to open a new position.

I don't understand the pending order, if I want to open a position I just use ExecuteMarketOrder right ?

Does that create a pending order that I have to wait to get accepted by the server ?

 

Thanks,

As far as I know and understand, the ExecuteMarketOrder creates a new "position", not an "order". 

Then you have to test to see if it was successful. Eg, TradeResult r; if r.IsSuccessful then ... 

If the result is successful, it was accepted by the server.
