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.

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....

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.

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!
