    It continues to amaze me that IB still doesn't have an option to automatically email trade details whenever an order is filled. You can create an alert with $MESSAGE, but after the first fill, $MESSAGE gets replaced with the details from that fill, so you are emailed the same text every time, even if the fill is completely unrelated.

    Seems like such a simple feature to create an email whenever trade details are updated, with the updated details.

    Then again, I guess nothing at IB should amaze me.

    Anyone come up with any work-around to have trade details automatically emailed to you?
