Hello,

I trade via IB and use SC for data. I noticed that when I place a limit order for the NOB spread (NOB 03-01 Z17.FUT_SPREAD.CBOT), it show as a live order on the DOM, but does not appear in the pending orders on TWS. It seems that the spread legs are pending on the client, and if so, a fill at my price is not guaranteed by CBOT and the potential for slippage would be great in a fast market.

Is there a setting in SC I need to adjust so that the order will pass through to IB->CBOT?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Sierra Chart does not support spread contracts through Interactive Brokers. The specification of those is just too complex and after multiple reviews of this, we have concluded over and over again, that it does not make sense to get ourselves involved in it because users would rarely be able to handle that complex symbology.
