Declaration
Visual Basic
FIX_LIMIT As Integer
IDL
[propget] HRESULT FIX_LIMIT( [out, retval] long* retVal)

Parameters
iFixOrderKind

The kind of the order.

The value must equal TradeDeskAut.FIX_LIMIT
sTradeID

The unique identifier of the trade.

In case the limit order must be created or replaced on the trade, specify the unique identifier of the trade. The trade must exist in the Trades table. The value can be obtained from the TradeID column of the Trades table.

In case the limit order must be created or replaced on the entry order, specify the unique identifier of the trade which will be opened by this entry order. The order must exist in the Orders table. The value can be obtained from the TradeID column of the Orders table.
dRate

The rate at which the limit order must be created or the offset in pips for the limit order. The interpretation of the parameter depends on the value of the iRateFlag parameter (see below).

The limit rate on the trade must be better than the current market. I.e. the rate must be higher than the current market for buying, and lower for selling. The distance between the specified rate and the current close price must be greater than the minimal conditional distance.

The limit rate on the entry order must be better than the rate of the entry order. I.e. the rate must be higher than the rate of the entry order for buying, and lower for selling. The distance between the specified rate and the rate of the entry order must be greater than the minimal conditional distance.

The value of the minimal conditional distance you can retrieve using methods of TradingSettingsProviderAut interface.

sQuoteID

sAccountID

The parameter is not used.
sInstrument

sRemark

The custom text to written into the QTXT column of the order. The parameter can be an empty string ("").
iRateFlag

The type of the limit order. The value defines interpretation of the dRate parameter.
The parameter must have one of the following values:

TradeDeskAut.SL_NONE

Use this value in case the limit order must be removed.

TradeDeskAut.SL_LIMIT

Use this value in case the simple limit order must be added.

TradeDeskAut.SL_PEGLIMITOPEN

Use this value in case the limit order must be the pegged limit order and its offset must be added to the open price (see Order Types for information about pegged orders).

The offset is specified in pips.

For buy orders, the limit order must be above the open price, i.e. offset must be positive.
For sell orders, the limit order must be below the open price, i.e. offset must be negative.

TradeDeskAut.SL_PEGLIMITCLOSE

Use this value in case the limit order must be the pegged limit order and its offset must be added to the close price (see Order Types for information about pegged orders).

The offset is specified in pips.

For buy orders, the limit order must be above the close price plus current spread, i.e. offset must be positive and must be bigger than spread.
For sell orders, the limit order must be below the close price minus current spread. i.e. offset must be negative and must be less than "-" spread.
iTrailMinMove

Controls the trailing limit order.

In case the limit order must not be trailing, specify 0 in this parameter.

In case the limit order must be trailing with a dynamic step, specify 1 in this parameter.

In case the limit order must be trailing with a fixed step, specify the size in pips of the market movement after which the order must be moved following the market. The value must be from the TradingSettingsProviderAut.GetMinTrailingStepForLimit value to the TradingSettingsProviderAut.GetMaxTrailingStepForLimit value.

Note that trailing limit orders can be not available on the server. To check whether trailing limit orders with a dynamic step are available, use the PermissionCheckerAut.CanUseDynamicTrailingForLimit method. To check whether trailing limit orders with a fixed step are available, use the PermissionCheckerAut.CanUseFluctuateTrailingForLimit method.
iTIFType

The parameter is not used.
