Post From: Critical Error happens when trading future contract YM through Interactive Brokers today

Hello, Today at around 9:45 AM EST, my auto-trading system triggered a sell signal of future contract YM. Because I set the position limit to 1, 1 YM contract was sold. However, it seems not be able to get the interal position feedback on time, so more and more contract were sold until it hits my margin limit and no more order can be executed. I have been running this algorithm for more than 2 years on sierra chart trading through Interactive Brokers TraderWorkStation and nothing went wrong before. Until last Thursday, it still works totally fine. So I wonder what the exact reason can cause this problem. It must be some change you or IB have made very recently that causes this problem. By the way, I am using sierrachart version 1469. Since I closed my sierra chart software immediately after the problem, I forgot to copy the trade service log. I only remember the log said something like "...out of regular trading hour....Error...". I believe this error code represents some mis-communication between sierra chart and IB which eventually caused the problem. Please check it for me. Thanks a lot! Nan |
