Hi, I use IB as a broker. Trading SPY, I usually enter at market with my standard 3-scale OCO order - all using the same stop but with staggered scales. Quite often I notice that one of the OCO orders does not have the correct quantity. To give an example: Buy market SPY 207.0, 1000 shares. There are 3 OCO orders, with the stop at 206.5. Each OCO orders should be 333/334 shares. One of these orders is set to 100 shares instead of 333. This means if I am not paying attention, my position is not stopped out or scaled completely. Its very dangerous if I am not at the computer when the order is triggered. It occurred today and I captured this from the service log: Trading Message from IB: Order Event Warning:Attribute 'Outside Regular Trading Hours' is ignored based on the order type and destination. PlaceOrder is now being processed.. Error Code: 2109.
