3.2. ChangeOrder

ChangeOrder changes certain parameters of a pending order. The ChangeOrder method has one parameter, an "Order" structure, which specifies the ID of the order to be changed and the new parameters of the order.

The following fields in the Order structure are valid and used when calling the ChangeOrder method:

OrderID: Contains the ID of the order to be changed

PriceType: MARKET (Default), LIMIT or STOP

Price: Required field when PriceType parameter is set to LIMIT or STOP

DurationType: GTC (Default), GTD or IOC

Duration: Required when DurationType parameter is set to GTD (Good Till Date)

Quantity: Required field

QuantityType: FULL (Default) or PARTIAL

ExitStopLoss: Optional; when empty, Exit Stop Loss parameter will be reset for the position

ExitTarget: Optional; when empty, Exit Target parameter will be reset for the position

Text: Sets the Text parameter of the position

All other fields in the Order structure are ignored when the ChangeOrder method is called.

NOTE: If any of the above fields are left empty, a default value will be assumed, not the previous value associated with the order. For example, if ChangeOrder is invoked with ExitStopLoss field left empty, the Exit Stop Loss value will be reset - it will not have the value as it was before the call.

Sample - PHP: The following code changes an order.

<?php

$api = new SoapClient ("http://127.0.0.1:8018/service.wsdl",
    array('features' => SOAP_SINGLE_ELEMENT_ARRAYS));

$order -> OrderID = "CR82JA01D";
$order -> Price = 8756.24;
$order -> PriceType = "LIMIT";
$order -> ExitTarget = 8765;
$order -> Quantity = 10;
$order -> DurationType = "GTD";
$order -> Duration = date("c", time() + 3600);
$order -> Text = "test order from my script";

$api -> ChangeOrder($order);

?>

Sample - Visual Basic: The following code changes an order.

Dim api As StreamsterApi = New StreamsterApi

Dim o As Order = New Order

o.OrderID = "K82LVC9DR"
o.Price = 8756.24
o.PriceSpecified = True
o.PriceType = "LIMIT"
o.ExitTarget = 8765
o.ExitTargetSpecified = True
o.Quantity = 10
o.QuantitySpecified = True
o.DurationType = "GTD"
o.Duration = DateAdd("d", 1, Now())
o.DurationSpecified = True
o.Text = "test order from my script"

api.ChangeOrder(o)
