How to send a request to open/close a position to a connected forex account?

[chonguoimuon]

I have access to apidocs/#/ but when I create a new order I always get the response "Invalid order type"

Depending on your broker and the pair you're trying to trade, there are different filling types available to you. Take a look at this:

https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/constants/tradingconstants/orderproperties#enum_order_type_filling

I've used ORDER_FILLING_FOK here on line 97 in the entry.py you can change it to other filling types to see if that fixes the problem for you.
