I set the quantity of an order but it does not buy that quantity. Code: s_SCNewOrder NewOrder; NewOrder.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_MARKET; NewOrder.OrderQuantity=li_shares; NewOrder.TimeInForce = SCT_TIF_GTC; Even though I set the "li_shares" to 150, It uses a seemingly random number, sometimes close, like 124, and others as low as 5 shares. This is on SC historical data, daily bars, bar-based backtest and the tick is JNJ, so there is plenty of volume. I get the same results with other tickers... Thank You! |

Use this instead and let us know what happens: NewOrder.OrderQuantity=100; We see no reason why the quantity would be wrong. We have never had a problem with that.
