Re: Data issues with latest IB TWS

I also encountered this problem.
Has this issue been solved in the current release?
If not, do you have IB Gateway version 10.20.1d, as in the previous post?

My broker is Interactive Brokers.
For example,
buy("Entry 1") 10 contracts next bar at 1000 stop;
8 contracts are filled at 1000 and the other 2 contracts are filled at 1001.

Re: PosTradeCount with Different Filled Prices [SOLVED]

If the paper trading account does not fill an order with varying prices, which is most likely the case,

Re: how to simulate stop order [SOLVED]

Thanks, Tony!

Yes, but that requires the whole signal to be in IOG mode.
I'm wondering how setpercenttrailing() works in IOG mode but the calling signal can still be not in IOG mode.

So, it seems to me that writing something like setXXX() is not we users can do.
