Post From: Continued problems with IB and futures contracts

Ok... I will try and do this tomorrow if I see any good trades and can reproduce the error.

I did try one more trade today just to cover my tiny little loss from before and it worked out as it should, so I would say this problem is quite intermittent. I had logged out of IB, logged into the paper trading account from IB to test, and Sierra worked fine in terms of the correct entry and exit marked as well as the position line not disappearing. Then I logged back in with the live account to take the live trade which worked. So my last trade of the day worked as it should, but it still of course makes me scared going forward.

I will try and update tomorrow with any trades I take.

As for today, I looked through this log and its a little messy since I have also used the paper trading account, but here is a sample of what it says at the times where I think I had trouble with some of the trades. (I have masked my account number in the one line where I see it written). These are 2 random snippets from roughly where I think problems were happening. Does this point to anything conclusive or give you a hunch as to what the problem could be? I don't believe I have any restrictions on trading outside regular trading hours and I haven't touched these settings in over a year of using Sierra so I'm not sure what these error messages could mean.
