Dear SC,
Unfortunetly orders are not executed in SC platform, connection with Interactive Brokers - broker, works..and orders get throught to IB in API mode, but when market reaches my order, it is not executed and stays in SC as not executed. I cannot cancel the order with regular "Cancel" button, I have to do it with "X" in the order directly. Afterwards the order is cancelled in IB and latle also in SC. Please find attached a short video and information out of the SC about the problem as well.
thank you
Vlasto

First, you really should avoid using Interactive Brokers because it is not unusual to have these kinds of problems. Especially when trading futures you really should use a different broker.

Have a look at using CTS or CQG instead:

Also, we do not accept videos:

We have a standard procedure in this case and it is documented here:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/TradeActivityLogAnalysis.php#SupportAssistedTradeActivityLogAnalysis

However, at least one of the problems is based upon the Trade Service Log that you posted:
"Restriction is specified in precautionary settings"

Ask Interactive Brokers about that. They will help you. So you should start with them first.

Technically this does not make sense and there must be some other explanation for what is happening:
. I cannot cancel the order with regular "Cancel" button, I have to do it with "X" in the order directly.
