As for futures :-D ... some new story ... trading MCL today. When stop-loss is hit but not triggered it becomes pretty scary.. This is definitely some issue with IB not SierraChart I believe Today I opened at 7:20 UTC a long position in MCL Z21 at 82.43 using API (SierraChart 2318) with attached orders SELL LMT at 83.23 and SELL STOP at 82.22. At about 7:29 the SELL STOP was modified to 82.44. Then market went down to the order but it did not execute correctly when hit. The position was still on. I hit FLATTEN in SierraChart which cancelled the attached orders but did not flatten the position either. It sent a SELL MKT order into TWS API but it had status "Transferred but not yet aknowledged". To solve this I went to TWS to close the position there directly using SELL LMT but order was again not accepted - status "Transferred but not yet aknowledged" I waited few minutes and adjusted the SELL LMT price in TWS as market tanked to 82.32 and finally got filled. I have been trading some time now with many brokers but this never happened to me so far. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-10-22 09:09:11
