Im using ascil to enter and manage order entries through IB. My order usualy consists of a limit entry, stop, and 2 target limits. after an entry is made, the order is sometimes "stuck" in the pendingmodify state (or some other pending state). At which point im just waiting for the state to change to open before allowing for any other modification (which i assume is the correct way to handle this). The time in which it correctly changes from the pendingmodify is inconsistent. Sometimes it changes nearly instantaneously. More often it doesnt seem to ever change. This resolves itself if i restart the IB app, but this isn't much of a resolution since i often change the targets/stops after order entry.

I understand this might be an issue with trade station, but is this an issue you guys have seen? Do you have any recommendations to resolve?
