Post From: Displaying trades placed manually through IB TWS

I am an Interactive Brokers client and trying to use Sierra Chart with TWS (Trader Workstation). I noticed that orders placed manually through TWS are not displayed in Sierra Chart when you have the setting Trade >> Show Order Fills enabled, only orders placed through Sierra Chart show up. It would be nice to have this because TWS has a variety of rich, special order types such as Relative/Pegged-to-Primary and also Algorithmic order types e.g. VWAP which are not available to place through Sierra Chart.

I think this is feasible based on the fact that according to TWS API documentation the client ID 0 receives order status even for orders placed manually: https://interactivebrokers.github.io/tws-api/order_submission.html#order_status (Search Ctrl+F for "manually")
