I am trying to do a limit order from the chart, it appears on the TWS, but then the order line on the TWS disapears and i get the following message

'Trading message from IB: Order rejected - reason:Invalid value in field # 6159. Error Code: 201.'

I have updated to the latest SC version.

I have tried buy limit and sell limit orders from the chart for GBP.USD-CASH-IDEALPRO and EUR.GBP-CASH-IDEALPRO

I have done a Find Symbol on Chart Settings to add the symbol and then try the trade entry and that didnt work either.

The orders can be entered manually on the TWS without issue.

Those are valid symbols. So you really need to contact IB about this underlined message:


'Trading message from IB: Order rejected - reason:Invalid value in field # 6159. Error Code: 201.

Let them know you are trading these symbols: GBP.USD-CASH-IDEALPRO and EUR.GBP-CASH-IDEALPRO

They will need to get your TWS log file:
