[amibroker] Re: Modify a transmitted order: IB autotrade interface

["treatmentinprogress" <brian5545@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have my code working for placing bracket orders for FOREX.  

Here is a snippet;

			BuyOrderID	= 	ibc.PlaceOrder( 
	Name(), 		"Buy", 	Units, 	"MKT", 	0, 	0, 
	"GTC", 	False); 
			LimitOrderID 	= 	ibc.PlaceOrder(	Name
(), 		"Sell", 	Units, 	"LMT", 	BuyTarget, 	0, 
	"GTC", 	False, 	1,	 	"", 	BuyOrderID ); 
			StopOrderID 	= 	ibc.PlaceOrder(	Name
(), 		"Sell", 	Units, 	"STP",  IBBuyStop,	
	IBBuyStop,	"GTC", 	True, 	1, 	"", 	BuyOrderID );
	
			StaticVarSetText("BuyOrderID" + Name
(),BuyOrderID); 
			StaticVarSetText("LimitOrderID" + Name
(),LimitOrderID); 
			StaticVarSetText("StopOrderID" + Name
(),StopOrderID); 
			StaticVarSetText("LastTrade" + Name
(), "Buy"); 
			SetChartBkColor( colorBrightGreen ) ; 
			Say("Buy position, "+ FullName());
