many tests I am convinced that this orders issue has nothing to do with SC and it isn't just happening around IB's reset time (at least for me), as during last week it also happened several times at very different times of the day. correct 100% not related to SC software. 100% will happen everyday at 12am EST (read above you can change your reset time to another IB server example Hong Kong) I noticed 2x last week that IB's order routing server was down for few minutes (which is unusual). I briefly read through the thread you mentioned, clearly 90% of those users have no idea what they're talking about, it's really simple everyday at 12am EST (if NYC is your default IB server) you will not be able to route orders for ~20 minutes. Also this past week a few other times IB servers were briefly down but as a long time IB user, honestly not that common especially compared to others. NOTE: I've been chatting with IB developers and have a ticket in for them to add bringing the IB Gateway to the foreground if minimized or in the background if any IB connection is timed out or dropped. That should solve the issue I've been discussing here of not being aware the connection is down.
