Post From: orders disappear/not transmitted to IB

However, soon after, my position mysteriously disappears in trade DOM, or one of the OCO orders disappears.
At the time this happens check "Trade >> Trade Orders and Positions >> Positions". Do you see the Position Quantity there? If so what is the symbol?

Soon after, when one of the OCO orders is hit, or so I thought, nothing is actually done, since SC thinks I have no position on. Nothing gets transmitted to IB.
As soon as the main/parent order fills, or when the main order is sent, at that time the Attached Orders are sent. Not when one of the OCO orders is touched. So what you are describing does not really make sense. The Attached Orders should already be working in TWS unless the orders were ignored for some reason.


If you want reliability we recommend avoiding Interactive Brokers. Interactive Brokers does not provide a well-designed interface for external programs to use.

One of the best trading platform services is CTS T4:

Although we recognize the problem could be that because you are from Canada that maybe Interactive Brokers is the only choice.
