Order Routing
The WebSocket API provides real-time order routing, allowing clients to submit, revise, and pull orders. All order-related operations are sent within a **ClientMessage** envelope and responses are received within a **ServerMessage** envelope.
Submitting an Order
To submit an order, clients send an OrderSubmit message.
Note: You must subscribe to the Account before submitting an order into it. Orders will be rejected if the account is not subscribed.
Example OrderSubmit message:
OrderSubmit { UserId = "efda0709-af12-4b65-8971-5089edb4aaf0", AccountId = "448c9ddd-6a50-4852-85ea-aad3b6d60620", MarketId = "XCME_C ZC (H25)", Orders = [ { BuySell = BuySell.Buy, PriceType = PriceType.Limit, TimeType = TimeType.Normal, Volume = 5, LimitPrice = "4200.50" } ] }
Note: The OrderSubmit message allows submitting multiple orders at once.
Revising an Order
To revise an existing order, clients send an OrderRevise message.
Example OrderRevise message:
OrderRevise { UserId = "efda0709-af12-4b65-8971-5089edb4aaf0", AccountId = "448c9ddd-6a50-4852-85ea-aad3b6d60620", MarketId = "XCME_C ZC (H25)", Revisions = [ { UniqueId = "a3b1c5f2-7d43-4f9b-88e2-1e2f75c6d9a1", Volume = 10, LimitPrice = "4250.00" } ] }
Note: The OrderRevise message allows revising multiple orders at once.
Pulling (Cancelling) an Order
To cancel an order, clients must send an OrderPull message with the order ID.
Example OrderPull message:
OrderPull { UserId = "efda0709-af12-4b65-8971-5089edb4aaf0", AccountId = "448c9ddd-6a50-4852-85ea-aad3b6d60620", MarketId = "XCME_C ZC (H25)", Pulls = [ { UniqueId = "a3b1c5f2-7d43-4f9b-88e2-1e2f75c6d9a1" } ] }
Note: The OrderPull message allows pulling multiple orders at once.
Order Types
The WebSocket API supports a variety of order types to accommodate different trading strategies. Below are the supported order types, along with their corresponding OrderSubmit messages.
Market Order
A Market Order executes immediately at the best available price.
Example Market Order message:
OrderSubmit { UserId = "efda0709-af12-4b65-8971-5089edb4aaf0", AccountId = "448c9ddd-6a50-4852-85ea-aad3b6d60620", MarketId = "XCME_C ZC (H25)", Orders = [ { BuySell = BuySell.Buy, PriceType = PriceType.Market, TimeType = TimeType.Normal, Volume = 1 } ] }
Limit Order
A Limit Order is submitted with a specific limit price. The order will only execute at the specified price or better.
Example Limit Order message:
OrderSubmit { UserId = "efda0709-af12-4b65-8971-5089edb4aaf0", AccountId = "448c9ddd-6a50-4852-85ea-aad3b6d60620", MarketId = "XCME_C ZC (H25)", Orders = [ { BuySell = BuySell.Buy, PriceType = PriceType.Limit, TimeType = TimeType.Normal, Volume = 1, LimitPrice = "2376.50" } ] }
Stop Order
A Stop Market Order becomes a Market Order when the stop price is reached.
Example Stop Order message:
OrderSubmit { UserId = "efda0709-af12-4b65-8971-5089edb4aaf0", AccountId = "448c9ddd-6a50-4852-85ea-aad3b6d60620", MarketId = "XCME_C ZC (H25)", Orders = [ { BuySell = BuySell.Buy, PriceType = PriceType.StopMarket, TimeType = TimeType.Normal, Volume = 1, StopPrice = "2376.50" } ] }
Stop Limit Order
A Stop Limit Order becomes a Limit Order when the stop price is reached.
Example Stop Limit Order message:
OrderSubmit { UserId = "efda0709-af12-4b65-8971-5089edb4aaf0", AccountId = "448c9ddd-6a50-4852-85ea-aad3b6d60620", MarketId = "XCME_C ZC (H25)", Orders = [ { BuySell = BuySell.Buy, PriceType = PriceType.StopLimit, TimeType = TimeType.Normal, Volume = 1, StopPrice = "2375.00", LimitPrice = "2375.00" } ] }
Trailing Stop Order
A Trailing Stop Order moves the stop price automatically based on price movement.
Example Trailing Stop Order message:
OrderSubmit { UserId = "efda0709-af12-4b65-8971-5089edb4aaf0", AccountId = "448c9ddd-6a50-4852-85ea-aad3b6d60620", MarketId = "XCME_C ZC (H25)", Orders = [ { BuySell = BuySell.Buy, PriceType = PriceType.StopMarket, TimeType = TimeType.Normal, Volume = 1, StopPrice = "2375.00", TrailPrice = "50" } ] }
Fill or Kill (FOK) Order
A Fill or Kill (FOK) Order must be executed immediately in full or it is canceled.
Example Fill or Kill (FOK) Order message:
OrderSubmit { UserId = "efda0709-af12-4b65-8971-5089edb4aaf0", AccountId = "448c9ddd-6a50-4852-85ea-aad3b6d60620", MarketId = "XCME_C ZC (H25)", Orders = [ { BuySell = BuySell.Buy, PriceType = PriceType.Limit, TimeType = TimeType.CompleteVolume, Volume = 1, LimitPrice = "2375.00" } ] }
Immediate or Cancel (IOC) Order
An Immediate or Cancel (IOC) Order executes immediately for the available quantity and cancels the rest.
Example Immediate or Cancel (IOC) Order message:
OrderSubmit { UserId = "efda0709-af12-4b65-8971-5089edb4aaf0", AccountId = "448c9ddd-6a50-4852-85ea-aad3b6d60620", MarketId = "XCME_C ZC (H25)", Orders = [ { BuySell = BuySell.Buy, PriceType = PriceType.Limit, TimeType = TimeType.ImmediateAndCancel, Volume = 1, LimitPrice = "2375.00" } ] }
Good Till Canceled (GTC) Order
A Good Till Canceled (GTC) Order remains open until it is filled or explicitly canceled.
Example Good Till Canceled (GTC) Order message:
OrderSubmit { UserId = "efda0709-af12-4b65-8971-5089edb4aaf0", AccountId = "448c9ddd-6a50-4852-85ea-aad3b6d60620", MarketId = "XCME_C ZC (H25)", Orders = [ { BuySell = BuySell.Buy, PriceType = PriceType.Limit, TimeType = TimeType.GoodTillCancelled, Volume = 1, LimitPrice = "2375.00" } ] }
Order Cancels Order (OCO)
An OCO (One Cancels Other) order is a pair of orders submitted together. Both orders are on the same side of the market: one is a Limit Order and the other is a Stop Order. When one fills, the other is automatically canceled. If one order is partially filled, the remaining volume of the other order is adjusted accordingly.
OCO orders must be placed for the same Market and Account.
Example OrderSubmit message for an OCO order:
OrderSubmit { UserId = "efda0709-af12-4b65-8971-5089edb4aaf0", AccountId = "448c9ddd-6a50-4852-85ea-aad3b6d60620", MarketId = "XCME_C ZC (H25)", OrderLink = OrderLink.OCO, Orders = [ { BuySell = BuySell.Buy, PriceType = PriceType.Limit, TimeType = TimeType.Normal, Volume = 1, LimitPrice = "2375.00" }, { BuySell = BuySell.Buy, PriceType = PriceType.StopMarket, TimeType = TimeType.Normal, Volume = 1, StopPrice = "2380.00" } ] }
Both orders are placed at the same time. If the Limit Order is filled, the Stop Order is automatically canceled, and vice versa.
AutoOCO Order
An AutoOCO Order is a batch of three orders:
- A Trigger Order that initiates the trade.
- Two OCO Orders (Take Profit and Stop Loss) that execute based on the trigger order's fill price.
If the Trigger Order fills, the OCO Orders are submitted. If the OCO Orders begin filling, any remaining volume in the Trigger Order is canceled.
Example OrderSubmit message for an AutoOCO order:
OrderSubmit { UserId = "efda0709-af12-4b65-8971-5089edb4aaf0", AccountId = "448c9ddd-6a50-4852-85ea-aad3b6d60620", MarketId = "XCME_C ZC (H25)", OrderLink = OrderLink.AutoOCO, Orders = [ { BuySell = BuySell.Buy, PriceType = PriceType.Limit, TimeType = TimeType.Normal, Volume = 1, LimitPrice = "2375.00" }, { BuySell = BuySell.Sell, PriceType = PriceType.Limit, TimeType = TimeType.Normal, Volume = 0, LimitPrice = "2380.00" }, { BuySell = BuySell.Sell, PriceType = PriceType.StopMarket, TimeType = TimeType.Normal, Volume = 0, StopPrice = "2365.00" } ] }
Take Profit and Stop Loss
Take profit and stop loss orders are a type of OCO order. The first order in the batch is the Trigger Order. Once it fills, the Take Profit and Stop Loss orders are submitted.
Example OrderSubmit message for a Take Profit / Stop Loss order:
OrderSubmit { UserId = "efda0709-af12-4b65-8971-5089edb4aaf0", AccountId = "448c9ddd-6a50-4852-85ea-aad3b6d60620", MarketId = "XCME_C ZC (H25)", OrderLink = OrderLink.OCO, Orders = [ { BuySell = BuySell.Buy, PriceType = PriceType.Limit, TimeType = TimeType.Normal, Volume = 1, LimitPrice = "2375.00" }, { BuySell = BuySell.Sell, PriceType = PriceType.Limit, TimeType = TimeType.Normal, Volume = 0, LimitPrice = "2385.00" }, { BuySell = BuySell.Sell, PriceType = PriceType.StopMarket, TimeType = TimeType.Normal, Volume = 0, StopPrice = "2360.00" } ] }
When the Trigger Order executes, the Take Profit and Stop Loss orders are placed. If the price reaches the take profit level, the stop loss order is canceled, and vice versa.
