For buying and selling an option, the symbol is passed in char* Asset, coded in the way as described on the "IB" page of the manual.
jcl,
Is there some way that my plugin can define a futures/options/futures-options contract symbol so that Zorro's use of char* Asset always matches that of my broker?
I mean like this:
* Zorro calls GET_OPTIONS or GET_FUTURES.
* Plugin copies the CONTRACT structs and then return a **negative** number of contracts to indicate that the plugin has symbols to supply. Plugin saves the symbols.
* Zorro calls a new function GET_OPTIONS_SYMBOLS or GET_FUTURES_SYMBOLS. Zorro provides a pointer to an array of strings, and the plugin copies the symbols to the array of strings.
* The number of CONTRACT structs and symbols would therefore be identical.
* Any BrokerAsset, BrokerHistory2, and BrokerBuy call using one of these contracts would therefore use the respective symbol for char* Asset.
This would be especially helpful to me, since
my SC plugin will be multi-broker.
