You can look at ButtonTrader which will always work. It even has code in it for monitoring not functioning Stop-orders, and will intervene when it does not function, and correct it immediately.
I would, but a screenshot wouldn't help. I spent 20min on the online realtime Chat (the java app) earlier today and your support staffer agreed that there was a difference of about -$500 between the "Futures PnL" shown in TWS->Account and what it should have been, based on closed trades and MTM of open positions. Now I'll have to wait for daily statement and check the numbers by hand...
Is there a listing anywhere for the maximum LIMIT allowed on a STOP LIMIT set by the exchanges e.g I want to replace My STOP MKT orders in strategies wioth STOP LIMIT with (very) wide LIMIT but not so big that maybe I risk having the order rejected by the exchange.
You are correct, currently it is only the stplmt on eCBOT that can be set to trigger outside RTH. We are in the process of reworking the RTH topic.
I had no idea IB has created such cottage industry of TWS clients. Does anyone have a comprehensive link list of what's out there? zeroline buttonwood etc... Thanks

Hoi, yes I know ButtonTrader, in fact I considered it the best of all TWS front-ends I had evaluated (was 9 months ago, so things may have changed). It was just that I thought BT had too many features and I just needed a relatively simple DOME entry and bracket order mgmt.
I thought the same thing about Button. I am very happy with Zerolintrader for IB. I also use the the simstops that stay on my machine for everything but stop limits on globex and it seems to work well. I am not complaining or worried about my stops dissapearing. ZLT seems stable and it is beyond cheap.
