"IB uses a single connection for Data Feeds and Order Routing" is true, then when IB market data is down, then no orders are routed I think this pertains to new orders, existing orders are (can be turned on/off) stored on their servers and would be executed even if the market data feed is down. What I've noticed when IB Gateway is in the state of "Reconnecting in x seconds" new orders placed in SC the market will naturally move right past the order and it won't get executed. Oddly checking TWS order color codes I've seen Purple status for a long time on these orders, even after it's back online. Unfortunately in SC there is no indication of any of this (via the Green Status indicator, or Color of placed Orders). From IB "PALE PURPLE indicates that an order has been accepted by the system (simulated orders) or an exchange (native orders) but that currently the order is not working, due to system, exchange or other issues. When the order becomes active, the order status color will change appropriately. I think all of this really only applies to SC customers using a third party data feed (like Denali) with IB under those conditions where IB isn't disconnected, just trying to reconnect. Those users really need to have the IB Gateway or TWS visible to monitor. Tonight I'm going to switch off Denali and onto the IB feed to test it out, I'll report back here what I find. I'm going to check out that dark theme setup, I scanned through the vid real fast do you know if that uses the High Contrast mode which renders apps like Excel pretty unusable? |
