How to enter a "Custom Eq" order via REDI API
Options
Hi, I want to trade the attached trade via the REDI API. It's a diagonal options trade with an equity leg. On the UI it becomes a "Custom Eq" trade but that's not a valid entry for COMPLEXORDER.Strategy. Is it possible to structure this kind of order via the API? Thanks

Hi @DDALY ,
Please see below...
This one is a bit tricky.
- The Symbol needs to be set before Strategy.
- You need to set the Strategy = "Buy-Write".
- You need to add the equity leg second, and the second option leg needs to have the same number as the equity leg. If you add another option leg (not shown here), it would be "3".
Hope this helps!

Sub SendCustomEq()
Dim myerr As Variant
Dim rtnVal As Variant
Dim hOrder As New COMPLEXORDER
' Complex options order header ---------------------------
hOrder.SetSymbol 0, "VICI"
hOrder.Strategy = "Buy-Write"
hOrder.SetExchange 0, "DEM2 DMA"
hOrder.SetPriceType 0, "Market"
hOrder.SetTIF 0, "Day"
hOrder.SetQuantity 0, 1
'Leg 1 of Custom Eq (First leg has to be option order)
hOrder.SetSide 1, "Buy"
hOrder.SetPosition 1, "Open"
hOrder.SetOptType 1, "Put"
hOrder.SetMonth 1, "Jan '23"
hOrder.SetStrike 1, "30.00"
hOrder.SetAccount 1, "DEMO2"
'Leg 2 (Equity Leg)
hOrder.SetSide 2, "Buy"
hOrder.SetAccount 2, "DEMO2"
'Leg 3 of Custom Eq
hOrder.AddOptionLeg
hOrder.SetSide 2, "Sell"
hOrder.SetPosition 2, "Open"
hOrder.SetOptType 2, "Put"
hOrder.SetMonth 2, "Dec '21"
hOrder.SetStrike 2, "25.00"
hOrder.SetAccount 2, "DEMO2"
rtnVal = hOrder.Submit(myerr)
If Not rtnVal Then
If myerr <> "" Then
MsgBox myerr
Else
MsgBox "Failed - Please Contact REDI Support."
End If
Else
MsgBox "Submitted"
End If

Thanks Brian, Will wait for your update. If that's not doable then I'll go with the diagonal options trade to market plus the equity leg staged.

@brian.mullane, This is a great solution - the result is exactly the same as my manually entered order. Thanks a lot for working it out!
