[R-SIG-Finance] problem placing order

[Stephen Choularton]

Further apologies - I have been asked to specify the problem/solution 
and I'm rather embarrassed to say it was because I had the order box set 
to transactions and I was trying to run the code before the exchange was 
open ;-(

Just proves having a Computing Science PhD doesn't stop you getting lost 
in all of this.

Thanks.
