Watch out IB TWS system rejects market orders widesreap problem, across the board on the phone with service rep right now Totantaz
Alright, back up and running hehe that was a bit scary not being able to get out of a position lol thank god for 1% max risk sizing Totantaz
Might have been an issue with certain balances in other currencies translating literally to USD, tying up your available capital. My account showed a debit in the millions due to a currency glitch. Customer service fixed.
Yeah error in TWS was stating "cannot value contract", my market orders just hanged there doing nothing the little order popup wasn't showing commissions or margin getting through all the way to the order desk to close out my positions by phone took quite some time, would been scary in a big crash :eek: can't imagine the old timers trading only by phone hehe ... cheers, Totantaz
I got this message trading CL too. Tried to hedge with WTI but TWS couldnt do that either.. yeah was quite scary as CL can move 100 ticks in minutes sometimes.
I deposit in CAD it gets transfered in USD after my deposit is cleared the account is based in USD Totantaz
Thanks - I thought it was a base currency problem, but it seems not. Good thing I didn't have any trades on - I would have panicked! Good trading to you
