Post From: InternalOrderID returns 0 when live trading with Interactive Brokers

I used below code to enter a stop order when detecting there is open long position:

s_SCNewOrder order;
order.OrderQuantity = 1;
order.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_STOP;
order.Price1 = stop;
if (sc.BuyExit(order) > 0)
{
  SCString Buffer;
  Buffer.Format("Successfully submitted stop order %i", order.InternalOrderID);
  sc.AddMessageToLog(Buffer, 0);
  trailingStopOrderId = order.InternalOrderID;
}

And inside the log, it logged "Successfully submitted stop order 0". This confirms with the subgraph value which I set using trailingStopOrderId.

As for OCO, I didn't do anything particular, so I'd assume it's not in OCO group. Also during the trigger of above if block, there is no open orders, only 1 open position.

Another thought, can this be related to some flags I need to set when going from testing to live? The reason is the internalOrderID is not zero during backtesting.
