Post From: CFDs and IB - Position not updating

That definitely shows the position in the Chart, but it also makes the current attached stop orders that exists in IB disappear (to be expected)

but then when I try and enter a trade in the chart ( I tested a buy limit below market) IB returns the message ...''Symbol Error - (unknown symbol with ID 203) is unknown, unavailable, or improperly formatted. No security definition has been found for the request | 2019-07-08 12:39:47.167''

EDIT:----
FYI - having IB look into this as there are other small issues they have with CFDs and pricing (ie; time and sales don't match with symbols) Thus I can only assume they are related. (If I can get them back to simply Cash spot FX it would be easier, but they are swamped with regulation I think)

If you have similar issues or solutions until I hear from IB please let me know.

EDIT: 22 July (more for future user information)
IB finally fixed their problems and I am back trading Forex WITHOUT the use of CFDs - happy to announce that SC working perfectly and while CFDs might be a work around, IB need to ensure messages back to SC are correct.
