Thanks again for your help @jlzbut still struggling. I reverted back to the basic create_open_position to test the connection, and start again from there, etc. So this works: response = ig_service.create_open_position( currency_code='GBP', direction='BUY', epic='CS.D.BITCOIN.TODAY.IP', expiry='DFB', force_open=True, guaranteed_stop=False, level=None, limit_distance='150', limit_level=None, order_type='MARKET', quote_id=None, size='1', stop_distance='150', stop_level=None, trailing_stop=

Hi, trying to create a new working order with a trigger level going through the Python trading_ig API. currencyCode = 'GBP' direction = 'BUY' epic = 'CS.D.BITCOIN.TODAY.IP' expiry = 'DFB' forceOpen = True guaranteedStop = True level = str(11450) limitDistance = str(150) timeInForce='GOOD_TILL_CANCELLED' limitLevel = None orderType = 'LIMIT' quoteId = None size = str(1) stopDistance = str(150) stopLevel = None goodTillDate = str(datetime(year = 2020, month = 9, day = 3, hour = 18, minute = 0)) response = ig_service.create_working_order(currencyCode, direc

Thank you so much! I would have been completely lost without your help. I was clearly on the wrong track, all sorted and working now. -
Level not working in API limit order
wki replied to wki's question in IG Trading Support - Dealing Questions
Hi, thanks again for your response and top tip. I am indeed getting the "LIMIT_ORDER_WRONG_SIDE_OF_MARKET" error. I have realised that I am looking to do a resting order as opposed to an immediate order as explained here: https://labs.ig.com/apiorders Can you get the API Companion working for a limit resting order with a level, the same as what is possible through the main UI dashboard (see attached)? Thanks again for your help! -
Level not working in API limit order
wki replied to wki's question in IG Trading Support - Dealing Questions
Hi, thanks @jlzfor your reply but I can't see anything in your C# code that indicates where I have gone wrong. As mentioned, I can't even get this working via the API Companion, let alone through Python. I'll contact IG directly. 👍 -
Level not working in API limit order
wki posted a question in IG Trading Support - Dealing Questions
Hi, I am trying to do a trade through the API (either Python or the API Companion). I can do a MARKET trade successfully but now I want to do a LIMIT trade, where the trade is executed when a specific price point is reached but I cannot get this to work. I can place the limit order with the level through the IG Trading Dashboard though. Through the API, the LEVEL seems to be completely ignored and so it bypasses the limit and goes straight to market. Here is my Python script for GBPUSD: epic = "CS.D.GBPUSD.TODAY.IP" direction = "BUY" stopDistance = 15 limitDistance = 15 size = 0.
