Hi I am on a Apex account, and I was trading today. I was trading perfectly fine until I tried to place a new trade on ES and now all of a sudden it says client child and my entry says "held." I've never had this issue before and cant seem to find a fix. I am still able to trade CL but ES is not working. Apex says that this is not something on their end, so I am very confused and looking for some help thank you.

What is the Order Type of the entry order? You can see this in the Trade Orders Window:
Trading Information Windows: Trade Orders Window

And what is the Time in Force of the entry order? You can also see this in the Trade Orders Window.

The order type is 'Market'. the time force simply says 'Send order at time: 00.00.00'. for status i get 'Held' for the entry and 'pedning child-client' for SL and TP.

I don't understand if i did something or what is happening as I can still trade CL perectly fine.

Hi I fixed it. I fatfingered the time force from day to send order at time.
