Enter orders and manage orders

Hi neka-nat and other contributors

Great project by the way,

I would like to trade a system that uses entry orders and not market orders. I therefore want to be able to add, delete and monitor entry orders (stop and limit orders) via python-forexconnect. I can´t seem to find a function for that. I am not an educated programmer but I use python extensively. Can you lead me through the steps how I can add new functions and tell me which files in the library have to be modified etc? The reason I ask, is that I have been modifying some functions in python-forexconnect, i.e. add UsedMargin into function "client.get_trades()" by changing "ForexConnectClient.cpp", "ForexConnectClient.h.in", "pyforexconnect.cpp" but the modified function doesn´t return UsedMargin. Either my programming is bad or it is not that simple to modify functions. So I turn myself to you for some guidance.

Cheers, gunnvidd

Hi gunnvidd. I'm sorry to reply late and thank you for trying improvement.

When I implement new function, first I check c++ example. If you downloaded forexconnect api, you find some example on ForexconnectApi/samples/cpp. I think you try to use TableManagerSamples/CreateEntry or ... You can compare the sample code and ForexConnectClient::openPosition.

Do you fork this repository? I can also advice for it. Thank you.
