Re: [RT] IB

Order was accepted as green.  Anything else I do if not green, I cancel and
reenter immediately (other than a stop limit stop loss which show up in
blue).

I recently have had problems where I open IB and all the symbols on the page
are gone.  I have reported this to IB and am yet to receive a response that
was acceptable.  This never use to happen until sometime in the last month.

I even received one response from IB that was obviously wrong (reproduced
below).

I have found their saved setting to work however when I encounter the loss
of symbols mentioned.

If you are still having trouble retaining your symbols first make sure
that you are not entering tickers on the Portfolio page that you don't
hold positions in, these will be remove upon logging in again.

As a test create a new page called Test from the Page menu, New.
Then add a ticker to the page.
After this go to File, then Exit so the TWS closes and saves the settings
automatically. Then login to the TWS again and see if the new page
still exists.

If you need further assistance just let us know.

The question referred to a LIMIT order that didn't fill. Limit orders are
native to ECBOT, so the order would have been held at the exchange, not at
IB. Check the status of your order on the IB screen. If it's green, then it
has been accepted by the exchange and IB is no longer part of the equation.

Now, stops are another matter, as they're held on IB's servers, so timing
does become an issue here.

  Another thought is that IB is indeed 'parking' orders that are not going
to be directly executed to reduce communications traffic, and the mechanism
by which the system compares bid/ask to parked order for submission is too
slow...

One idea: Could IB erroneously be storing the serverside orders using a LIFO
approach (Last in, first out) instead of the "correct" FIFO (first in, first
out).
If so, that's a BIG bug.

The other idea is possibly they are monitoring the stops in a time interval
approach versus every uptick or downtick.

Earl,
On my last exit on bonds Friday I had an order in to sell six
at 115-28 LMT.
The bid moved up to 115-28 (45 contracts) and the ask to
115-29 (200+ contracts).  No fill.  I waited 30 seconds then
cancelled my sell, re-entered it and was filled immediately.
This concerns me.  I have seen this several times before also
and with some stop orders. It is like IB parked my order
somewhere and it was not hitting the exchange servers?
Anyone else experience anything like this?
Don Ewers
