Post From: After order input on chart, order lines disappear, reappear when filled

Not totally sure what we can do. IB has a substandard and very problematic programming interface through the Trader Workstation for trading and that is the root cause of all these endless problems.

The question for IB, is why is it when the open orders are requested, they do not report the working order as working any longer?

This is not a Sierra Chart problem. It is not by design an order is going to disappear when it is working. That makes no sense. When order is submitted, Sierra Chart will make a request for the open orders from IB to make sure it gets an update on the orders. This was a patch recently put in because sometimes IB would not provide an update. The problem is IB is not providing that update in this case and that is the problem.
