Need sample vb.net to start vertexboapi project

[Rawan-HS]

Dear Jay

Thanks a million.

Adding, i am not able to update any parameters or updateclosedorder inspite of passing proper params.
my code is:


Dim result As VertexFXBOAPI10.CallingResultsEnum
result = BOAPI.UpdateClosedPosition(78612087, 2992891, 2, 393.6, 406.55, 1000, 10, 5000, "")
MsgBox(result)

I am getting 1 as output still the order does not get updated.


I am using BOAPI version 10.5.78
Is there any version issue or I am going wrong?
Please help.

I have checked the issue from my side and found that you received an invalid amount for the updated position that closed partially or the new amount is larger than the fully mount , So to get the server response you have to wait the UpdatedClosedPositionResultReceived event to fire

How to get the clientid for which the below mentioned event fires.
I want to get the clientid for which the AccountHistory is belonging to..

Private Sub BOAPI_AccountHistoryReceived(ByRef AccountHistory As VBA.Collection) Handles BOAPI.AccountHistoryReceived

You have to know that the event fired for each account that you requested the history for when calling the GetAccountHistory , so by using the AccountByID function you can get the client id.

Thanks you sir.

I need to find the accountid from the ticketid in the above event. I need it as need to fire multiple update events by using loop.

Dim AccHis As CAccountHistory
Dim ticket As Integer
Dim Interest As Double
Dim Commission As Double
Dim RefPrice As Double
Dim Price As Double
Dim lot As Double
Dim profit As Double

For Each AccHis In AccountHistory




If AccHis.HisType = "L" Then 'And Val(AccHis.Comm) = 0



Dim brokerage As Double
brokerage = 0
ticket = AccHis.Ticket
lot = AccHis.Lots
Price = AccHis.ClosePrice
RefPrice = AccHis.RefPrice
Commission = Math.Round((Price * lot + RefPrice * lot) / 10000000 * brokerage * 1000, 2)
Interest = AccHis.Interest
profit = AccHis.Profit
Dim result As CallingResultsEnum




result = BOAPI.UpdateClosedPosition(frmMain.myid, AccHis.Ticket, lot, Price, RefPrice, Commission, Interest, profit, CDate(AccHis.HisTime).AddMinutes(150).ToString)
' MsgBox(result)
End If
Next

Hello Jay,

Unfortunately you can not get the Account ID value using ticket ID. you must buffer the ID as you do in every call to GetAccountHistory method.

Ok, thanks

Adding, the below code outputs "InvalidIDResult"

Dim Result As CallingResultsEnum
Result = BOAPI.ChangeParam(78612085, ParamTypeEnum.MaxLotsType, False, 1111, BOAPI.SymbolByName("AXISBANK JUN").ID)

MsgBox(Result.ToString)

Dear Jay

Ok, thanks

Dim Result As CallingResultsEnum
Result = BOAPI.ChangeParam(78612085, ParamTypeEnum.MaxLotsType, False, 1111, BOAPI.SymbolByName("AXISBANK JUN").ID)

MsgBox(Result.ToString)

The invalid ID result means that you are passing the wrong client ID, so make sure that you are enter the valid client ID not the account number .

Hi sir,

I am connectiing the BOAPI with my back-office credentials. How to connect the same with client credentials?

[jay.thakkar@gmail.com]

Hi there,

please see the above image.
the below mentioned static code closed a position.

result1 = BOAPI.ClosePosition(78612087, 3003736, 1, 175.9, 176.40, 1, "C/F", Format(Now.AddHours(-5), "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss").ToString)


Issue: The problem is that the profit is incorrect. It should be -0.50 and not -89.

Please correct me if i am going wrong. I have used static values to simplify.

Hello Jay,

You should use VertexFX Client API when you want to login as a client.

I can not judge if the PL is correct or not because it depends on the symbol setting values (contract size, Ref Symbol calculation, Direct/Indirect), however are you sure if you send a correct RefPrice?

[jay.thakkar@gmail.com]

By ref price, you mean the opening price of the position. I hope i am right.

Contract Size:1 for the above situation.

I didnt figure out about Ref Symbol calculation, Direct/Indirect.

Please help.

[Hassan-HS]

Hello,


RefAskPrice & RefBidPrice is a properties in COSymbol object. so when you try to close any position you must get the symbol object of the position then pass Symbol.RefAskPrice & Symbol.RefBidPrice to ClosePosition method.

I am using VertexFXBOAPI10 where as your link to closeposition has different parameters.

Hello,

I am using VertexFXBOAPI10 where as your link to closeposition has different parameters.

It's almost the same, you have to send a correct RefPrice

[jay.thakkar@gmail.com]

The link you mentioned has two separate params for refRate i.e RefBidRate and RefAskRate.
VertexFxBoapi10 has closeposition with only one param i.e RefRate.

Which rate should i pass?

Request you to post example for VertexFxBoApi10 as I am not figuring out.

Thanks in anticipation sir.

You have to pass the ref price according the position type so if the closed position is Buy type you have to pass the RefBid price value else pass the RefAsk price
