Simple question really - I have written several entry order routines using Oanda's v20 API and the returned JSON objects on successfully placing the orders show a key/value pair of
partialFill , DEFAULT
What is this? I can't find anything in Oanda's online API documentation that either explains what this means and what the "default" implies in terms of how the order has been effected. Furthermore, what are the alternative options to "default"?
I have received an answer to this query from Oanda's help desk, which I quote below for forum members' information.
The partialFill = DEFAULT value currently serves a limited purpose. It indicates that partial fill is possible if the order is marked as Immediate or Cancel (IOC). Beyond that, the value has no additional functionality at this time.
However, I would like to assure you that we are actively working on extending this feature. Shortly, we plan to release an update that will provide specific details on how orders can be partially filled on the trigger. This only applies when the Order's Time-In-Force is not FOK. Once it is released, you will be able to find all of the related information in our developer's guide.
