Post From: Missing and incorrect orders from IB

"Where in the Trade Activity Log do you see this? The log does not show this as a fill price for the CF. That is quite clear. Please check again and you will see everything is OK."

I'm looking at the 1st line of info (after the headers) in the 2nd block in my post above:

Fill 2013-04-25 12:03:50.002 CF IB order fill (execution) 562367 3 Market 1493 Sell Filled 159.19 2445 DU157477 Open -1493 00018037.51c51326.01.01

That says CF filled at 159.19 when it was actually trading at 193 and change.

What I think happened is it showed the fill price of CF at 159.19 (which is actually the SPY fill price that went through at the same time - see my 2nd post above for the SPY log), so my trailing stop on CF got filled immediately since it was set to 192.52. So I thought there wasn't a stop sent on this - but it likely was just filled immediately because the entry price is wrong.

Also note line 3 from the 2nd block above:

Order 2013-04-25 12:03:50.004 CF IB open order update 562367 3 Market 2445 Sell Filled 159.19 2445 DU157477 Open -1493

This shows CF as the symbol, but the fill price and the quantity are from the SPY order. Again, see the 3rd group of copied info above for the SPY order for comparison.
