Create "Adaptive Algo" Order - Interactive Broker API

I'm trying to determine the matlab method of creating an "Adaptive Algo" order in the Interactive Broker api. The c# method is stated here: https://interactivebrokers.github.io/tws-api/ibalgos.html#adaptive however, I can't figure out its matlab equivalent

C#:

            Order baseOrder = OrderSamples.LimitOrder("BUY", 1000, 1);
...
            AvailableAlgoParams.FillAdaptiveParams(baseOrder, "Normal");
            client.placeOrder(nextOrderId++, ContractSamples.USStockAtSmart(), baseOrder);
...
        public static void FillAdaptiveParams(Order baseOrder, string priority)
        {
            baseOrder.AlgoStrategy = "Adaptive";
            baseOrder.AlgoParams = new List<TagValue>();
            baseOrder.AlgoParams.Add(new TagValue("adaptivePriority", priority));
        }

What I've done so far in Matlab:

% Create TWS connection and Create Order
ib = ibtws('',7496);
ibOrder = ib.Handle.createOrder;
ibOrder.action = 'BUY';
ibOrder.totalQuantity = 1000;
ibOrder.orderType = 'LMT';

% Specifying Adaptive Algo Order
ibOrder.algoStrategy = "Adaptive";

I have not tested this, but it should work. I'm about 99.75% sure. Let me know how it goes. If you want to change the algo, the same concept will apply. Create the algo properties, then set the value. Easy.

% Connect to IBTWS or GATEWAY
ib = ibtws('',4001,0);

% Create Contract
contract = ib.Handle.createContract;
contract.symbol = 'AAPL';
contract.secType = 'STK';
contract.exchange = 'SMART';
contract.primaryExchange = 'SMART';
contract.currency = 'USD';

% Create Order
order = ib.Handle.createOrder;
order.action = 'BUY';
order.totalQuantity = 1000;
order.orderType = 'LMT';
order.lmtPrice = '274.25';

% Add properties for Algo order
order.algoStrategy = 'Adaptive';
addproperty(order.algoParams,'adaptivePriority');
order.algoParams.adaptivePriority = 'Normal';

% Place the order
id = orderid(ib);
exec = createOrder(ib,contract,order,id);

% Check order status after 5 seconds
pause(5);
exec(1,1).STATUS

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I tried what you suggested but received the error mssg:

Unrecognized property 'adaptivePriority' for class 'Interface.CC48E64E_.......

Found the solution. I needed to use createtagvalue.

%% Connect to IBTWS or GATEWAY
ib = ibtws('',4001,0);

%% Create Contract
contract = ib.Handle.createContract;
contract.symbol = 'AAPL';
contract.secType = 'STK';
contract.exchange = 'SMART';
contract.primaryExchange = 'SMART';
contract.currency = 'USD';

%% Create Order
order = ib.Handle.createOrder;
order.account = 'XXXXXXX'
order.action = 'BUY';
order.totalQuantity = 1;
order.orderType = 'LMT';
order.lmtPrice = 100;

%% Add properties for Algo order
order.algoStrategy = 'Adaptive';
algo = ib.Handle.createTagValueList;
addproperty(algo,'adaptivePriority');
algo.adaptivePriority = 'Normal';
order.algoParams = algo;


%% Place the order
id = orderid(ib);
exec = createOrder(ib,contract,order,id);

%% Check order status after 5 seconds
exec(1,1).STATUS

I have tested the solution live. I can confirm the order is submitted and live.

Hi,

The updated solution worked perfectly!

Thanks!

Very good.

You can use the same concept to build out all the other Algos following the API.

For example. Here's the Accumulate/Distribute algo in python converted to MATLAB

@staticmethod
def FillAccumulateDistributeParams(baseOrder: Order, componentSize: int,
    timeBetweenOrders: int, randomizeTime20: bool, randomizeSize55: bool,
    giveUp: int, catchUp: bool, waitForFill: bool, startTime: str,
    endTime: str):
  baseOrder.algoStrategy = "AD"
baseOrder.algoParams = []
baseOrder.algoParams.append(TagValue("componentSize", componentSize))
baseOrder.algoParams.append(TagValue("timeBetweenOrders", timeBetweenOrders))
baseOrder.algoParams.append(TagValue("randomizeTime20",
  int(randomizeTime20)))
baseOrder.algoParams.append(TagValue("randomizeSize55",
  int(randomizeSize55)))
baseOrder.algoParams.append(TagValue("giveUp", giveUp))
baseOrder.algoParams.append(TagValue("catchUp", int(catchUp)))
baseOrder.algoParams.append(TagValue("waitForFill", int(waitForFill)))
baseOrder.algoParams.append(TagValue("activeTimeStart", startTime))
baseOrder.algoParams.append(TagValue("activeTimeEnd", endTime))

Converted Matlab code

%% Connect to IBTWS or GATEWAY
ib = ibtws('',4001,0);

%% Create Contract
contract = ib.Handle.createContract;
contract.symbol = 'AAPL';
contract.secType = 'STK';
contract.exchange = 'SMART';
contract.primaryExchange = 'SMART';
contract.currency = 'USD';

%% Create Order
order = ib.Handle.createOrder;
%order.account = 'XXXXXXX'
order.action = 'BUY';
order.totalQuantity = 1;
order.orderType = 'LMT';
order.lmtPrice = 100;

%% Add properties for Algo order
FillAccumulateDistrubuteParams(ib, order, 10, 60, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, '20191231-12:00:00',...
    '20191231-16:00:00')

%% Place the order
id = orderid(ib);
exec = createOrder(ib,contract,order,id);

%% Check order status after 5 seconds
exec(1,1).STATUS

% IB Accumulate/Distribute Algo Function 
function FillAccumulateDistrubuteParams(c, order, componentSize, timeBetweenOrders,...
    randomTime20, randomSize55, giveUp, catchUp, waitForFill, startTime, endTime)

startTime = datestr(startTime,'yyyymmdd HH:MM:SS');
endTime = datestr(endTime,'yyyymmdd HH:MM:SS');
order.algoStrategy = "AD";
algo = c.Handle.createTagValueList;
addproperty(algo, 'componentSize'); algo.componentSize = componentSize;
addproperty(algo, 'timeBetweenOrders');algo.timeBetweenOrders = timeBetweenOrders;
addproperty(algo, 'randomTime20');algo.randomTime20 = randomTime20;
addproperty(algo, 'randomSize55');algo.randomSize55 = randomSize55;
addproperty(algo, 'giveUp');algo.giveUp = giveUp;
addproperty(algo, 'catchUp');algo.catchUp = catchUp;
addproperty(algo, 'waitForFill');algo.waitForFill = waitForFill;
addproperty(algo, 'startTime');algo.startTime = startTime;
addproperty(algo, 'endTime');algo.endTime = endTime;
disp('Algo configured.')
