[R-SIG-Finance] placeOrder

[Stephen Choularton]

Hi

I don't want to stray into an IB issues so I already trawled their site 
and made sure I have ticked bypass API precautions so I', hoping this is 
a IBrokers issues.   Sorry if it is not.

When I try to do this:

 > tws <- twsConnect()
 > tws
<twsConnection,1 @ 20101215 15:46:12 Eastern Standard Time (New South 
Wales), nextId=>
 > id<- reqIds(tws)
 > x <-placeOrder(tws, twsEquity('CBA','SNFE','AUD'), twsOrder(id, 
'BUY', '100', 'MKT'))
 >
 >
 > closeAllConnections()
 > x
NULL
 >

I don't get an order through to the TWS but I don't get any information 
why not.  I can get prices, etc no problems.

I even tried this, as I have seen it in Jeffs code:

tws
<twsConnection,1 @ 20101215 15:56:26 Eastern Standard Time (New South 
Wales), nextId=56>
 > id<- reqIds(tws)
 > IBrokers:::.placeOrder(tws, twsEquity('CBA','SNFE','AUD'), 
twsOrder(55, 'BUY', '50', 'MKT'))
 >
 >
 > closeAllConnections()

but to no avail.
