This does not make any sense. Simulation mode can not have a problem. What exactly is occurring when you have Simulation Mode On? What are you doing and what is occurring?

hello support: Mr. John

I place a bracket short order with a stop loss order.

The short trade gets filled correctly.

But the stop order to cover the short does not get filled.
The price passes through the stop order line and keeps going up without filling the stop order.

Then I use "flatten and cancel" to fill the stop order and it fills at the current price which is above and beyond the stop order price.

I have not tried a trade going long. Thank you.

Hello Support: Mr John

I tested the trading in Sim Mode this morning and it is working fine with no problems.

Also, in real-time trading, orders submitted with the Sierra Charts do not appear on the IB Dashboard.

Therefore there seems to be a communication issue between IB and Sierra Charts regarding my account. I do not understand this and
I need your help with this. Thank you.

Make sure you are properly connected to your Interactive Brokers account by going through the Setup Instructions at the following link:
Interactive Brokers Trading Service: Setup Instructions

Then, make sure that you are not in Simulation Mode by ensuring that the option for "Trade >> Trade Simulation Mode On" does NOT have a checkmark next to it.

Then try to submit an order to Interactive Brokers and if it does not work properly, then open your "Trade >> Trade Service Log" and post the contents of that log to this thread for us to review.

The only item in the log is a request to cancel an order, which Interactive Brokers could not find. This is from these lines:
2024-04-16 15:10:26.543 | Trading message from IB: OrderId 10 that needs to be cancelled is not found. Error Code: 10147. ServiceOrderID: 10. InternalOrderID: 40163. *

We really need the information in the log from right when you place an order and it does not show up in TWS. If the log above is from this scenario, then there is nothing showing any issues. In which case, from the Sierra Chart perspective, the transmission went fine, so this would imply some problem on the Interactive Brokers side.

Hello Support:

If the problem is on the Interactive Brokers' side, then can you please resolve it with them?
Because I am the least qualified person to understand software issues let alone resolve them.
Or I can make a payment to resolve this issue by requesting Sierra remote assistance if you think that will help.

You are using the wrong symbol based upon what we see:
Symbol: tsla-stk-nasdaq/

There cannot be a / at the end. For the symbol format, refer to:
Interactive Brokers Symbols: Complete Stock Symbol Format

This is the problem. The problem is that Interactive Brokers is not acknowledging the order.

I changed the symbol according to your last post, but still getting the same message in the trade log below: "Order not found".

Hello Support:

- Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol = TSLA-NQTV
- Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Trade and Current Quote Symbol = TSLA-STK-NASDAQ/ ; (This was suggested by you yesterday) ; before that

I was using: TSLA-STK-SMART/NASDAQ



Thank you.

Please check with Interactive Brokers on what is the correct symbol that they need for this. Make sure the "Trade And Current Quote Symbol" is set correctly for the symbol as Interactive Brokers needs it.

We have some information on this at the following link, but please double check with Interactive Brokers, as they are constantly changing the requirements:

Hello Sierra Support:

As desired by you, I checked with IB. Below is my communication with IB Support.


---"Summary: Hello IB Support: I am using Sierra Charts; what is the current symbol for Tesla?

beec263 2024/04/23 12:25:02
The last symbol I was using was TSLA-STK-SMART/NASDAQ;
Please let me know the new symbol. Thank you.
IBCS 2024/04/23 17:15:02
Dear Mr. C,

The contract for TSLA should still be TSLA-STK-SMART with NASDAQ being an optional parameter to include as the primary exchange. Usually including USD as a currency would be required for API use but Interactive Brokers support is not familiar with how Sierra Charts defines their contracts.

It may be required to reach out to Sierra Charts support for further assistance, as (besides the lack of "USD" as the currency in the contract definition) the definition provided seems to work fine.

Kind regards,
Michael G

We send the symbol exactly as you have it entered. So if USD is a required part of the symbol, then you would need to add it.
