Yes, there's a mapping between the two. If you're looking at the RightEdge TWS plugin source code, the variable is a Dictionary named openOrders.

[quote][b]smersh (6/23/2009)[/b][hr]Bill, I am curious to know how once RE has recovered its position and order state from OpenPositions.xml, RE then matches up and "Broker Side" order IDs.

By this I mean, what handles (IDs) does it use to manage those orders at the broker. Is there another dictionary mapping RE IDs to Broker IDs or is there a mapping function that can always generate a Broker ID from an RE ID?

This isn't really something we support. And if you're referring to open positions/orders that are currently in play while the system is running, those are not accessible from a file. There is a file called OpenPositions.xml that we persist between sessions. You could parse this yourself to pick up information, but OpenPositions.xml is processed by RightEdge before Startup() is called.

[quote][b]RLHali (5/31/2009)[/b][hr]How do I can 'read' from RE program the IB's account live pending orders and live portfolio?
I have test the following in the Startup() method, but that write nothing in the file, although I have cca 15 pending IB positions and RE with Live System works properly. :ermm:
public override void Startup()
{
// Perform initialization here.
String filename;
String s="";
filename="c:/Temp/OpenPos.csv";
using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(filename)) {
sw.WriteLine("Size;EntryPrice;Symbol");
foreach (Position oo in this.PositionManager.GetOpenPositions()) {
s=""+oo.CurrentSize+";"+oo.EntryPrice+";"+oo.Symbol;
sw.WriteLine(s);
}
sw.WriteLine("All done!");

}

}
Can everybody post a sample code with the solution.
Thanks a lot.
