Post From: Order disappears

My long orders dissappeared few seconds after they have been sent to IB. Then, I could see the children orders (OCO), which dissapeared after the SL was hit.
We assume you are referring to a disappearing Trade Position. This issue has been resolved and the Message Log you posted indicates you are on a version where this should not occur and we do see that the Trade Position data is being properly requested and received from Interactive Brokers.

Nevertheless, there is a newer version although it probably will not make any difference. But we recommend updating anyway. Here are instructions:

We recommend trading futures contracts on your Interactive Brokers paper trading account and see if you can consistently reproduce the issue. If not, and it only occasionally occurs, then it is going to be some issue on the Interactive Broker side.



Then a new shot order appeared (I did not do it), after a few seconds it switchet down by itself. So, please advice ..

For an understanding as to what exactly has happened, refer to the Trade Activity Log:

And refer to this section here:
Interactive Brokers Trading Service: Trading Related Issues

The problems with Interactive Brokers are very troubling. We are very disturbed by this. This is a risk that you have to accept when using that system.
