SC, I have an issue with IB symbols for US stock CFD's. Specifically I can't get the position quantity to show ( sc.GetTradePosition(PositionData) and then PositionData.PositionQuantityWithAllWorkingOrders always shows a quantity of zero) I open the charts with the 3/4 letter code, e.g. CSCO and set the sc.TradeAndCurrentQuoteSymbol to CSCO-CFD-SMART-USD. I can open and close orders with BuyOrder/SellOrder and the orders get filled. ( BuyExit/SellExit give an error that there are 0 positions) Like this Auto-trade: USO 1 Min #3 | Buy1Stock | BuyExit | Bar start date-time: 2020-03-02 17:00:00.000 | BuyExit signal is ignored.
Long position quantity does not exist or there are already working exit orders that will flatten the position. Current Position with working exit orders: 0. Current Position: 0. Current Position with exit market orders: 0 | 2020-03-02 17:00:18.828 When I have a filled position it shows in the 'Trade Positions' window, but the symbols is CSCOn-CFD-SMART-USD. If I click flatten I get an error about the symbol not existing. When I view daily statements from IB via the web or TWS the product is listed under a CFD heading and the symbol is CSCOn Could you make these weird IB CFD symbol names with an 'n' match to their standard IB symbol for CFD's ?
