Hi,
I'm new to Algo trading and I'm playing around with the IDE. I'm trying to place an order for a certain $ value for a particular stock (MSFT). I understand that using the order_target_value method, I can pass the $value as a second parameter. However, order is not getting placed unless if I change the value to be more than the stock price.
It appears it is not allowing me to do a fraction trading. Am I missing any configuration, setting to perform fraction trading?
msft_limit_price=data.current(context.universe[0],"close")
msft_order_id = order_target_value(symbol('MSFT'),50,msft_limit_price)
You are very right! Blueshift does not support fractioal trading. Every order is validated for the minimum size it can have, which must be an integer.
