Stop order does not work

Hello,

I tried to paper trade during off-market hours (from 7:00 in the morning). I bought a stock (at about 7:15), but stop order did not work then. Also when I clicked "Flatten" button it did not close the position (tried few times). However I could close the position by "Sell Ask" button. Does it mean that market stop orders do not work in off-market sessions? Or do I have incorrect settings somewhere in the program?

In Interactive Brokers I have this option enabled:
- Allow order to be activated, triggered, or filled outside of regular trading hours (if available)

In Sierra Chart I have this option enabled:
- Allow order to fill outside regular trading hours

Let me know please how to enable stop orders to work in post/pre-market session?


Thank you.

You need to contact Interactive Brokers for help with this.

One potential reason for not being able to flatten is explained here:
