    Hi Everyone,

    I mentioned that my STOP order was not executed. This was my fault after re-installing I forgot to check the box. But there is still a market order problem. I just sent a market order 2 minutes ago and it did not execute.

    Hoi

    Was the Market order for a USA-Stock ?? Then it is still before RTH and default is RTH-Only (If you have not switched it off you should).

    PS: TWS shows a warning-box when you try to send a RTHonly order.

    It was for YM (Dow e-mini). I believe RTH only applies to STOP orders, this was a SELL market order.

    Also, I never had these problems before. I believe I was using 845 version (before my re-install) but I'm not sure about the Java version. I think that may have been an older version.

    No YM should work (and RTHonly is something else then rth-triggering, and applies only for USA-stocks, all order-types).

    My advice : switch on "Audit Trail" then you can send this not working action to IB-helpdesk to explain/solve.

    Ok. I checked the Audit Trail. There was no Audit for my SELL MARKET order. But there was a modify order for the SELL MARKET order. So something is defenitely up. You should not be able to cancel a Market Order ! NO?

    You need to have the charts auto refresh on the two day charts.

    It's a royal pain and totally unwworkable to have to manually refresh these. Realy, how hard is that to change?

    Thanks Def

    It will not include all the ticks. It will be bars of variable lengths. The bar length will depend on the length of the requested time interval.

    1 week query will result in 300 second bars.
