Hi,

I'd be most grateful if you could help me with the Japanese Yen future. This is "JPY, Future, March 2018" at IB, "6J" at the Globex or the FX-future "JY" at Bloomberg.

I have live data and can indeed trade the contract in a simulated account using the IB TWS. Zorro, however, produces an error when I try to trade that contract. Here is a test case.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <r.h>

static int count = 0;

function run () {

  if (is (INITRUN)) {

    Verbose = 7;

    History = ".t6";
    LookBack = 100;
    BarPeriod = 1;
    TimeFrame = 1;
    TickTime = 1;
    StartDate = 2016;
    EndDate = 2017;

    asset ("JPY-FUT-20180319-6J-GLOBEX-USD");
    brokerCommand (SET_PRICETYPE,2);          // use trade rather than bid/ask
    Entry = 0;
    Stop = 0;
    TakeProfit = 0;
    Trail = 0;

    Margin = 0.0001; // position size is not controlled by margin
    Risk = 0;        // position size is not controlled by risk limit
    
    Lots = 1;
    LotAmount = 12500000*0.0088;
    PIP = 0.0000005;
    PIPCost = 6.25;
    MarginCost = Margin/Lots;

    count = 0;
    return;
  }

  if (wdate (NOW) - wdate () < 1.0/(24*60)) {
    
    count++;
    printf ("nL %04d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d USDJPY O=%.6f, H=%.6f, L=%.6f, C=%.6f [count %d]",
	    year (),month (),day (),hour (),minute (),(int)floor (second ()),
	    priceOpen (),priceHigh(),priceLow(),priceClose (),count);

    if (count == 3) {
      enterLong ();
    }

    if (count == 5) {
      exitLong ();
    }
  } else {
    printf ("nB %04d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d USDJPY O=%.6f, H=%.6f, L=%.6f, C=%.6f",
	    year (),month (),day (),hour (),minute (),(int)floor (second ()),
	    priceOpen (),priceHigh(),priceLow(),priceClose ());
  }
}


Zorro gets plausible minute bars, and so the instrument specification seems to be correct. In Zorro, I get the output
Code:

Why cannot I open the position? The IB API log file at c:\Jts\something.Day.log says

Somehow the trade parameters are wrong here because the margin requirement in the API error message does not make sense. I want to buy only one contract, and it seems this is what Zorro is trying.

When I click on the bid or the ask price in the TWS, can trade +1 or -1 contract without any problem.

I use Zorro S with the 1.74 beta version (because I eventually need time series with the traded prices rather than bid/ask).

Any help would be much appreaciated.

Kind regards,

gloria

This is because you are trying to buy LOT*LotAmount=110 000 future contracts.
Try commenting out the LotAmount line.

Oh, yes, you are right. That was dumb. Seems to solve the problem. Thank you!

Kind regards,
