Thanks for this. Yes, I can see that it can happen like this - if their API is not constructed in a robust way. But I strongly recommend that Sierra bring up a warning that the cancellation was not properly received in the log - ie. it timed out and the state of cancellation is unknown. i.e. on seeing this message in the log users could check it out in IB. I do take your point on ensuring that IB need to fix the primary fault but I do not like Sierra not putting this inconsistency in a log. After all the message in their sounds as if it was cancelled - The best way is for Sierra to requery the order status in the IB API. ie. Meaning that you have the API and you should requery if the cancellation actually went through. My problem is that you just assume its OK - you did not leave a proper message and you did not use the API.
