Missing and incorrect orders from IB

View Count: 2625

I noticed today that I had an entry order that filled fine, but then my attached stop was for 1200 shares instead of the 1643 that I was filled on. The log also showed 1643 filled, then showed a stop order for 1200 shares. I'm using a hard coded attached stop order in my code.

I also had a problem minutes later, on the same symbol, where my entry order was sent to IB, but my stop never was. Eventually my stop was hit, but the trade remains open on IB. Here's the lines from the trade log:

This is not a complete Trade Activity log for those orders. It does not indicate the issue.

On the first one, I eventually corrected the quantity myself through IB. Log for the first issue:

A 3rd thing I found wrong is the fill price for the above order for CF - it shows it at 159.19, which is almost 20% away from what it was trading at, and a fill qty of 2445, which doesn't match the attached stop order. It looks like it's actually showing the fill price and qty I got at the same time for SPY. Here's the log for SPY from the same time - this one also had no stop order sent, like the first example above.

We see why this happened:
I noticed today that I had an entry order that filled fine, but then my attached stop was for 1200 shares instead of the 1643 that I was filled on
This is being resolved now. It will be resolved in version 968.

It occurred because there was a trail order modification occurring on the order at the same time the child order quantity was being increased and we did not consider that kind of scenario.

Still looking into the other issues.

The 2nd issue with the missing stop:

For the Trade Activity Log you provided for this issue, everything looks good. The stop order was sent and it got filled. We do not see an issue.

A 3rd thing I found wrong is the fill price for the above order for CF - it shows it at 159.19,
Where in the Trade Activity Log do you see this? The log does not show this as a fill price for the CF. That is quite clear. Please check again and you will see everything is OK.

"Where in the Trade Activity Log do you see this? The log does not show this as a fill price for the CF. That is quite clear. Please check again and you will see everything is OK."

I'm looking at the 1st line of info (after the headers) in the 2nd block in my post above:

Fill 2013-04-25 12:03:50.002 CF IB order fill (execution) 562367 3 Market 1493 Sell Filled 159.19 2445 DU157477 Open -1493 00018037.51c51326.01.01

That says CF filled at 159.19 when it was actually trading at 193 and change.

What I think happened is it showed the fill price of CF at 159.19 (which is actually the SPY fill price that went through at the same time - see my 2nd post above for the SPY log), so my trailing stop on CF got filled immediately since it was set to 192.52. So I thought there wasn't a stop sent on this - but it likely was just filled immediately because the entry price is wrong.

Also note line 3 from the 2nd block above:

Order 2013-04-25 12:03:50.004 CF IB open order update 562367 3 Market 2445 Sell Filled 159.19 2445 DU157477 Open -1493

This shows CF as the symbol, but the fill price and the quantity are from the SPY order. Again, see the 3rd group of copied info above for the SPY order for comparison.

We see the source of the problem. The Service Order ID of 3 is being used for 2 different orders for different symbols. When connecting to Trader Workstation they give us a order ID to start with and we increment it for every new order. So we see this as an issue on their side. They should not be giving us an order ID that is already in use.

Due to a similar problem like this in the past, we had applied a patch relating to service order IDs with Interactive Brokers. Possibly this patch might be causing some unexpected problem. We are going to more reliably solve this to ensure a service order ID is not used twice.

Really the way that Interactive Brokers handles Order IDs is very disorganized. And additionally, we have seen a problem with this in the past and that was the reason why we did apply a previous patch.

We have now implemented a secure solution for order ID conflicts when using Interactive Brokers.
