[ts-gen] order placement

[Mike Thornton]

Hi folks,

After looking through past posts, e.g.

http://www.trading-shim.org/pipermail/ts-general/2008-April/000190.html
http://www.trading-shim.org/pipermail/ts-general/2007-September/000087.html

I have a few questions regarding order placement.

1.  The following shim command "order(30545,MKT,Submit,20000,0,0,0)" --
which is supposed to purchase 20,000 EUR.USD -- results in a "Drop:
(30545,MKT,Submit,20000,0,0,0)" message.  An
"order(30545,MKT,Create,20000,0,0,0);" results in the same message.

If I type "bind key(abc) to oid(30545);", then I see the following error
message

Scan: 8 9 0 <(>
Term: key :       (nil)
Process rule: Terminal (:)
Process rule: Compound (key)
Syntax error:
Grammar rule: Compound key
Cursor state: match; text is:
bind key(abc) to oid(30545);
---------^------------------
Process rule: MetaData (LhsK)
Process rule: Compound (bind)
Syntax error:
Grammar rule: Compound bind
Cursor state: match; text is:
bind key(abc) to oid(30545);
---------^------------------
Drop: abc) to oid(30545);


What am I doing wrong?  Do both of the order placement methods in the above
links still work?


2.  As I understand, the order id comes from the Product.uid field.  How do
I specify the exchange?

Thx.
Mike
