@vpelipenko : thank you but I cannot access your page :(

[vpelipenko]

Sorry, it is only for internal usage.

Checkout (specially order placing request) is processed via Magento's REST API since latest releases.
Add your events.xml file with observers to webapi_rest area by moving
/Mycompany/Modulename/app/etc/frontend/events.xml
to
/Mycompany/Modulename/app/etc/webapi_rest/events.xml
