We have not made any further changes and the status of orders is requested every five seconds when there are multiple accounts detected when logged into TD Ameritrade.

The below text in bold is from TD Ameritrade:

TD Ameritrade | Order error: The order could not found. Please check its status. | 2016-01-19 10:04:36 *

There is nothing further we can do. We recommend using Interactive Brokers instead:
Interactive Brokers Trading Service

You need to be aware that this API of TD Ameritrade is substandard, from what we can tell is no longer under any active development, is generally unsupported by them because they do not respond to email questions timely if at all, and apparently they do not even monitor their own API forum anymore.

Also from our position, we would never get involved with an API like this anymore. It is nonstandard, disorderly and very substandard.

We have looked at this broker:
https://brokerage.tradier.com/

However, they themselves do not offer an acceptable API for us. We have told them to adopt the DTC Protocol, but have heard nothing back.

Even though we are critical of Interactive Brokers, still that is a far better system than what TD Ameritrade offers regarding trading.
