Hello, I thought all the problems were fixed with the reporting of trade positions with IB, but I realized today that I am still having problems. I am on version 1343. Note in the attached picture how a long entry in green is followed by an exit in black, for the correct way it worked today at first. Later, after a long entry again, the exit is red, and not black, as if a short was initiated as opposed to the sell order to exit the long trade. These trades also do not update in the PnL window, and also, for the 2nd time that it was incorrect, the position line also disappeared. I realize that you guys said that there isn't much more you can do until IB fixes their API, but I wonder if you are aware of all the limitations at the moment and can post them. For the first trade, I never had my position line disappear, and the exit is correct, but then I had the problems with exits not being correct and the position line disappearing just an hour later, so this is highly inconsistent. Is there an issue of time and how long in a trade you are? Earlier, before you had some fixes, it was even difficult for me to get out of a trade because Sierra didn't even think I was in one, and I had to revert to TWS to close the trade that way. I fear that this will happen again if Sierra isn't even marking the exits properly. I am also worried that with Sierra trying to update trade positions every 4 seconds which is what I read in another posting, what happens in those seconds before it updates? It seems like there are certain periods of time where Sierra is unaware that you are in a trade. |
