error message DUPLICATE_ORDER_ERROR when closing my position via API


waaf75

Question

Hello,

I'm using a robot which is opening and closing my positions through IG API every day. Up to 2.5K€, I have no issue for closing my position but each time that I'm increasing my daily trading to 10K€, I got the error message "DUPLICATE_ORDER_ERROR" when closing my position via the API. I did check several time but I'm not closing the same position several time at the the same time. I got this error message at the first trial !!! the only solution that I found for closing my position is to decrease the quantity of my closing order but it takes ages (5 min), and I need several orders (10) so it costs me a fortune. Up to 100€ for closing  a 10K€ position where it should be more in range of 45€.

Any idea how to prevent getting this error ?

Thank you so much in advance but this errors costs me a lot fo money

Thanks Arvin, but I have been already in contact with them without success. The only answer that I got is that I'm using the wrong deal ID which is wrong because I can close my position using the Deal ID that I get from IG API with 2.5K€...really strange.

    • Sainsburys full year earnings and Unilever’s first quarter trading update both say the same thing, UK consumers are in for higher prices. The war in Ukraine, supply chain issues and the effects of ongoing Covid all to blame.      
    • US Dollar (DXY) Daily Price and Analysis US Q1 GDP may stall the greenback’s advance. A 20-year high nears for the US dollar. The multi-month US dollar rally continues with the greenback printing a fresh high today ahead of the first look at US Q1 GDP at 12.30 GMT. The US dollar basket (DXY) has been boosted by renewed weakness in the Euro and the Japanese Yen, as investors move from lower-yielding to higher-yielding currencies, while safe-haven flows continue to benefit the greenback. The US growth release later in the session is expected to show a sharp slowdown from the robust Q4 figure of 6.9%. The markets are currently pricing in growth of just 1% for the first three months of this year, with the slowdown mainly due to a reduction in inventory accrual over the quarter. This release is unlikely to move the greenback, unless there is a large miss or beat, as the Fed believe that 2022 US growth will be robust enough to let them tighten monetary policy sharply without damaging the economy. The latest US Core PCE data – the Fed’s preferred inflation reading – is released on Friday and this may have more effect on the US dollar than today’s GDP data. For all market moving economic data and events, see the DailyFX Calendar. The ongoing US dollar rally has been aided by weakness across a range of G7 currencies including the Euro, the Japanese Yen, and the British Pound. The Euro continues to battle with lowly growth expectations, exacerbated by energy concerns, the British Pound is mired by weak economic data, while the Japanese Yen is in freefall as the BoJ continues with its ultra-loose monetary policy.   The US dollar continues to press higher and looks set to break above 103.96, the March 2020 high. Above here the US dollar would be back at levels last seen nearly two decades ago. The March resistance will likely hold in the short-term, especially with month-end portfolio rebalancing at the end of the week, but US dollar strength is set to continue in the months ahead.
