Monitoring OA_EXECUTION_EVENT
16 Oct 2017, 08:26

Can you monitor via the Trading API orders that are created somewhere else (say the terminal or another program accessing the same tokens) via OA_EXECUTION_EVENT?

or is OA_EXECUTION_EVENT just for orders created from within your own code connection?

I didn't try it, just thought would be easier to ask.

when exactly does OA_POSITION_STATUS_OPEN fire? I'm getting OA_POSITION_STATUS_CREATED but I don't think OPEN is firing. However with created fields like entry price are blank

Hi ycomp.

OA_POSITION_STATUS_CREATED is the status of the position when an order is accepted. You will get OA_POSITION_STATUS_OPEN status when the order is filled and the position is opened.
