IB ignoring stops today?

  1. For the first time ever, I've just had IB completely ignore my stop. Price went through it twice. I even checked the log to be sure it wasn't something I screwed up.

    Anyone else having this prob? It was in ES about 2 mins after employment report. Market wasn't even trading all that fast.
     
  2. I had one ignored in the YM last night. I think there is a setting someplace for trading outside rth.

    they dont want you to be able to stop out of their shares so they can pump it the first day!
     
  4. That's what I was thinking also as I rarely trade outside regular session.

    I'll look into this,

    Thanks, Jayford.

    PS I am not going to even bother asking IB as it will take them a month to get back to me.
     
  5. Yep,

    That was it. Took about a minute to find setting on my own under configure - order defaults.

    I've been using IB for years, and never noticed that (I don't play with my defaults).

    Cheers.
