Thanks for any help. |

This line is an indication there was no response from Trader Workstation to the submitting of the order: Error sending order to server. | Symbol: spy-opt-20160115-198-p-smart-100-usd | TradeAccount: U4130755 | InternalOrderID: 125801 | 2015-12-20 21:15:55 Wait until the market is open and try again. We also recommend opening a chart specific for that symbol, and do manual trades from the chart and see what feedback you get from Trader Workstation.

FYI, using the option symbol directly in a chart of its own and doing a manual trade from the chart worked perfect.

I did try that and it didn't help. What I ended up doing was changing my charts up a bit and it seemed to work. Previously, I had both a long and a short trade in a separate chart, along with a spreadsheet for each chart. As well, I had a couple charts that did not have trade sheets attached, for information purposes. These were all in one chartbook. I separated them out to separate chartbooks, each with only the chart and the spreadsheet, one for long and one for short. This seems to have worked, but the long side has not triggered yet to know for sure. I am not sure why this would not have worked all in one chartbook, especially with separate spreadsheets. FWIW, I have tried to put both the buy and short signals into one spreadsheet and it also did not work. |

None of this is relevant to the problem whatsoever. Any different behavior you are seeing is purely coincidental. That we are 100% certain of. This message clearly indicates there has been no response from Trader Workstation to the submission of an order: Error sending order to server. | Symbol: spy-opt-20160115-198-p-smart-100-usd | TradeAccount: U4130755 | InternalOrderID: 125802 | 2015-12-21 14:34:25 * Is the status of the order initially "Order Sent" and after about 10 to 15 seconds it disappears and this error is given?

It is possible that happened, but there was no delay that I noticed if it did. That is, it is possible that the order was sent and an error was given, but it happened immediately. I was watching it and nothing happened. No pending order. Nothing in the TWS main window. When I separated the charts, the order went immediately upon bar close. I don't have anything else running that would have triggered the order. |

This is the problem or part of the problem: Trading Message from IB: Error validating request:-'rd' : cause - When the local symbol field is empty, please fill all option fields (right, strike, expiry). Error Code: 321. ServiceOrderID: 4. | 2015-12-21 14:09:54 In the next release, this error will be properly handled. As we implemented support for that error, we can see just how disorderly the Interactive Brokers API with order communication is and why so many of the problems that exist with failed order communication do exist. Interactive Brokers is not the only one who does this, but it is one of the worst. We also see this a little with Rithmic. Interactive Brokers needs to implement the DTC Protocol: http://dtcprotocol.org/ Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

OK, having some issues again. As stated before, I have two chartbooks running. Both chartbooks are charting SPY. One chartbook has a spreadsheet that will trade SPY puts and one has a spreadsheet that will trade SPY calls. The chartbook that is trading the puts is working fine. There have been a few whipsaws today, and I have been traded in and out every time. The chartbook that is trading the calls has not worked at all. (The Calls chartbook should have a position whenever the puts chartbook sells out. Same parameters.) Is this the same error you mentioned above, or could it be some other reason one chartbook works and the other does not. FWIW, as you will see in the log, I did a manual call trade to see if the system would do a sell exit. It didn't. Thanks.
