Re: Not getting fills on the IB Sim
Hello Canaussieuck,
What is the status of the order in File-> New -> Order and position tracker window -> Orders tab ?
Are there any eror messages regardign this order in File -> New -> Order and position tracker window -> Logs tab ?
Are you able to manually place stop orders that will be filled on IB?
Make sure your symbol mapping is correct in File -> Broker profiles -> Symbol mapping ->IB.
Please attach a screenshot of this window.

Re: Not getting fills on the IB Sim
I can try placing orders on the paper trader tomorrow, for now I've got the live account on NT so I'll have to wait. It must be a setting that I'm missing....

Re: Not getting fills on the IB Sim
Not sure if this is related but I had similar issues on that day. I called IB about it and they had to reset the simulation account trading server. This happens occasional. It happened to me a couple of times over the past few months. When they did reset the server the orders still didn't get through until I exited and re-started both TWS and MC.My algo had this order up well before price touched it...even then price actually crossed it several times and still no fill on the IB Sim, the order was not sent.. MC says i'm connected to IB ok.....help...

Re: Not getting fills on the IB Sim
Thanks folks, i haven't tested yet because even the Hang Send is closed for Easter, i think it was my mistake...i simply didn't have the IB chart loaded....I'm still thinking in NT (which i use as well) where you have the primary data source then the broker for orders...
Pretty sure this will be the issue.
Doh!
