[R-SIG-Finance] problem placing order

[Stephen Choularton]

Hi

I wonder if someone can see what I am doing wrong.


library(IBrokers)

tws <- twsConnect()

sym <- "WBC"

contract <-twsEquity(sym, exch='ASX', currency='AUD')

# these work
price <- reqMktData(tws, contract, snapshot="TRUE")
price$Close

size <- 1000

order <- twsOrder(reqIds(tws), 'BUY', size, 'MKT')

#this doesn't produce an order in the tws
placeOrder(tws, contract, order)


closeAllConnections()

reqMktData works but placeOrder does not.
