Hi,
I have Interactive Brokers TWS connected to MultiCharts for automated trading.
The first automated order (market) of the day goes into TWS order queue but I have to execute it manually (right click on the order in TWS, "Transmit"), while the following orders are correctly executed automatically.
This is a normal behavior (happens every day) both on the Easylanguage and .NET version, I guess I have some configuration issue either on MC or TWS.
I'm also in contact with Interactive Brokers, I'll let you know is the issue is on their side and gets solved, but I was wondering if anyone is having the same problem and found a way to solve it.
Thanks a lot!

Hello, WEyeMC,
This is not something that can be configured in MultiCharts.
Please ask IB support how to transmit all orders automatically.

Hi, sure Svetlana, thank a lot, I'm in contact with IB support and they're reviewing the issue, I was just wondering if anyone else was having the same kind of behavior. I'll let you know as soon as they review the API log

At what time was your order generated?Hi,

If the order was generated before RTH, and on your TWS you have specified orders for RTH only, then MC will sent the order to IB, but not executed by IB.

Hi TJ, thanks a lot, I'll check the clock both on MC and IB, the order is generated during RTH but maybe if there's a mismatch in the timezone options that could be the problem. Thanks a lot for the input!

The issue is now solved if someone has a similar situation:
In Interactive Brokers TWS:
1. Go to "Settings > Global Configuration"
2. In "API > Precautions" I had to check "Bypass Order Precautions for API Orders"
