Placing orders without handing them over to IBpy?
I'm new to IBpy
and I'm wondering if there is a way to place an order without submitting it and waiting for human input to actually transfer the order?
I am using placeOrder
to place orders, but I cannot find a way to place them without submitting them.
Any help would be appreciated.

Set m_transmit to False on your order.
from ib.ext.Contract import Contract
from ib.ext.Order import Order
from ib.opt import ibConnection, message
from time import sleep
def watchAll(msg):
print(msg)
con = ibConnection(clientId=1)
con.registerAll(watchAll)
con.connect()
sleep(1)
fx = Contract()
fx.m_secType = "CASH"
fx.m_symbol = "USD"
fx.m_currency = "CAD"
fx.m_exchange = "IDEALPRO"
con.reqMktData(1,fx,"",False)
ord = Order()
ord.m_orderType = 'MKT'
ord.m_totalQuantity = 100000
ord.m_action = 'BUY'
ord.m_transmit = False
con.placeOrder(1234,fx,ord)
Your TWS will have a string like this
Please note the transfer button if you want to transfer from TWS.
Then you can send the same order using the same orderId, but set m_transmit to True.
ord.m_transmit = True
con.placeOrder(1234,fx,ord)
It will then be transmitted and TWS will show filling, also the order message callbacks will be printed in a simple def watchAll(msg)
