I am trying to submit a simple single order into a simulated account with the DTCf protocol. I followed the directions on the simulated account and created a trade account under the name spencertest1. The following is my JSON message, but it isn't going through. I have succesfully got a logon response, and immediately after, I send the following: {'Type': 208, 'Symbol': 'ESH24', 'ClientOrderID': 'try1','OrderType': 1, 'BuySell': 1, 'Quantity': 3, 'TradeAccount': 'spencertest1', 'IsAutomatedOrder': 1, 'OpenOrClose': 1,} The only thing I think may be wrong is the ClientOrderId, which I am not sure what it is, I just named the trade. |

Are you sending this to the DTC Protocol Server in Sierra Chart? Is that JSON message followed by a null terminator character? Is the DTC Protocol Server set to use JSON encoding, or did you send an Encoding request message? Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

1. Yes, to the local host (127.0.0.1) port 11099 2. No, is that the issue? 3. The DTC protocol is set it to JSON encoding in global settings>>Sierra Chart Server Settings. |

That was the issue I was having, thank you. If I want to close my position, do I have to put in the client order id, or if I just put in an order in the opposite direction with the sufficient size, will it close on without it?

A new order definitely does not have to make reference to a prior order. Just an order in the opposite direction with the correct size.
