On the TWS software, did you go to the "Precautions" section and enable "Bypass Order Precautions for API Orders" (Steps 10 and 11 of the setup instructions)? Otherwise, we do not know what this might be. Have you tried rebooting the computer and ensuring the TWS software is running when you start Sierra Chart?
