Dissecting the Nest Plus Auto Trading API

.
There are two kinds of subscriptions to the Plus API -- retail and dealer -- that vary in cost and some features.
In the retail version, once a fresh PlaceOrder signal is sent to the API, the user would have to manually confirm the order from Nest / NOW. Till then, is does not reflect in the Order Book.This is probably what you refer to. For the dealer version, this semi-auto mode is not applicable.
Of course, there is no manual confirmation required for order modifications or cancellations.

To further illustrate Yusi's post: When a API order is generated, it opens another window in NEST which shows the data NEST received. Then you have to click on the 'Place' and it will open up the actual Buy or Sell Order Entry. Which also you have to confirm.
So unless I am doing something wrong, it is a 3 step process.
1. Send data through API
2. Confirm that NEST received the API data
3. Confirm the actual order
It would be nice to skip step #2 since it seems redundant. We need to confirm the actual order anyways. If anyone knows how to skip step #2, please let me know.

jshah,
Nothing wrong in your observation. The manual confirmation is two-step -- one, a Place from the API Order Generated window; and second, a confirmation from the standard Buy/Sell windows. What I find interesting is that you are looking to eliminate the API Order window step; where as it is this window that list all the API orders and their changes either from the Trading Plugin or Nest Pulse.
Earlier, it was a single step. The Buy/Sell window confirmation was introduced near March 2014 with Plus 2.8. The justification, I was told, was that NSE had requested it !? As a result, operations that were earlier possible, such as using the Plus API as a basket order mechanism, went kaput.

Hi yusi,
I saw in a video (on another site) that they had multiple orders in the PlusAPI screen (pic attached). Is that what you are referring to regarding the Basket order functionality?
When I send a order to NEST, it opens a new PlusAPI window for each order. And I have to select 'Place' on each window and then confirm in the order entry screen.

Each time you create a new COM object, it will have a separate window. In AmiBroker, you can avoid creating a new object with CreateStaticObject.
There may not be an equivalent in Excel. If so, you will have to use Set plusObject = CreateObject("nest.plusapi") as a separate initialize action, and reuse the same plusObject in the order logic part of the code. This will show all orders in the same API Generated Orders window.
