Java REST API close postion problem

[Guest Sideshow]

Hi,

 

I am using the Java REST API, and have created an application using your ig-webapi-java-sample application as the basis of it. I am having trouble with closing an open position, so I hope someone can point out what I am doing wrong please!

 

I have created a working order as per the following code. It creates ok, and then as the price moves, becomes an open position:

 

GetMarketDetailsV2Response marketDetails = restApi.getMarketDetailsV2(authenticationContext.getConversationContext(), getTradeableEpic());

CreateOTCWorkingOrderV2Request createWorkingOrderRequest = new CreateOTCWorkingOrderV2Request();

createWorkingOrderRequest.setEpic(getTradeableEpic());

createWorkingOrderRequest.setExpiry(marketDetails.getInstrument().getExpiry());

createWorkingOrderRequest.setDirection(direction);

List<CurrenciesItem> currencies = marketDetails.getInstrument().getCurrencies();

createWorkingOrderRequest.setCurrencyCode(currencies.size() > 0 ? currencies.get(0).getCode() : "GBP");

createWorkingOrderRequest.setSize(BigDecimal.valueOf(event.getForexPair().getMinimumSize()));

createWorkingOrderRequest.setGuaranteedStop(false);

createWorkingOrderRequest.setForceOpen(true);

createWorkingOrderRequest.setTimeInForce(TimeInForce.GOOD_TILL_CANCELLED);

createWorkingOrderRequest.setGoodTillDate(null);

// createWorkingOrderRequest.setStopLevel(stopLevel);

createWorkingOrderRequest.setStopDistance(null);

createWorkingOrderRequest.setLimitLevel(null);

createWorkingOrderRequest.setLimitDistance(null);

createWorkingOrderRequest.setType(Type.STOP);

createWorkingOrderRequest.setLevel(level);

restApi.createOTCWorkingOrderV2(authenticationContext.getConversationContext(), createWorkingOrderRequest);

 

 

Now when I try to close this open position, it fails. Here is my code:

 

GetMarketDetailsV2Response marketDetails = restApi.getMarketDetailsV2(authenticationContext.getConversationContext(), getTradeableEpic());

CloseOTCPositionV1Request closePositionRequest = new CloseOTCPositionV1Request();

closePositionRequest.setDealId(position.getDealId());

closePositionRequest.setEpic(getTradeableEpic());

closePositionRequest.setExpiry(marketDetails.getInstrument().getExpiry());

if(position.getDirection() == Direction.SELL) {

closePositionRequest.setDirection(com.iggroup.webapi.samples.client.rest.dto.positions.otc.closeOTCPositionV1.Direction.BUY);

}else {

closePositionRequest.setDirection(com.iggroup.webapi.samples.client.rest.dto.positions.otc.closeOTCPositionV1.Direction.SELL);

}

closePositionRequest.setSize(position.getSize());

closePositionRequest.setLevel(null);

closePositionRequest.setOrderType(OrderType.MARKET);

closePositionRequest.setTimeInForce(TimeInForce.EXECUTE_AND_ELIMINATE);

restApi.closeOTCPositionV1(authenticationContext.getConversationContext(), closePositionRequest);

 

 

This fails with

Problem solved, here's the answer:

 

GetMarketDetailsV2Response marketDetails = restApi.getMarketDetailsV2(authenticationContext.getConversationContext(), getTradeableEpic());
CloseOTCPositionV1Request closePositionRequest = new CloseOTCPositionV1Request();
closePositionRequest.setDealId(position.getDealId());
closePositionRequest.setExpiry(marketDetails.getInstrument().getExpiry());
if(position.getDirection() == Direction.SELL) {
closePositionRequest.setDirection(com.iggroup.webapi.samples.client.rest.dto.positions.otc.closeOTCPositionV1.Direction.BUY);
}else {
closePositionRequest.setDirection(com.iggroup.webapi.samples.client.rest.dto.positions.otc.closeOTCPositionV1.Direction.SELL);
}
closePositionRequest.setSize(position.getSize());
closePositionRequest.setOrderType(OrderType.MARKET);
CloseOTCPositionV1Response response = restApi.closeOTCPositionV1(authenticationContext.getConversationContext(), closePositionRequest);
closingDealReference = response.getDealReference();
