Sorry to disappoint you but your suspicion is pretty unfunded in this case. No need to "jump the gun". :banghead:

Thank you for your reply. As I mentioned above, I don't think they are "pretty good" as you do but they are good enough for me too. In any case, it doesn't change the fact that not being able to exit a position fast is quite bad. As I said before, I just needed to know if the problem is...

Thank you for your reply. Are you in Europe as well or this is a generalized problem?

Easy to say, not so easy to do. As I mentioned, I am in Europe so I am limited and can't find a good alternative. That being said, I'm with IB for 9 years now and I don't dislike them despite from time to time I have to put up with some "less good" things. Just FYI, I use the latest stable...

Hello. I am trading NQ Futures from Europe. Since yesterday, when the market is moving fast some of my orders stay hanged out for some time until they become active. They stay in that blue state - "Order Transmitted, Not Yet Acknowledged". After checking my connection I made several ping...

Good to know that you finally have it working again. Let's hope it is definitely resolved this time.

You are really out of luck with this problem...

Ok, that's on the "Precautionary Settings". Thank you.

kolibrj, Thanks for sharing. Where / How do you do it?

You are absolutely correct. But if you don't keep pressing IB Support, it might take forever until you have your paper account working properly again. For me, the paper account is a very necessary tool that I often use to test and simulate what shouldn't be done in the real account. I don't...

Tested again in paper account just now and they are all accepting orders on my side - DAX future (Eurex), ES (Globex), and CL (Nymex). You have to keep insisting with IB... PITA: From Google - "abbreviation for pain in the a***" (no disrespect intention)

I am on IB Ireland as well. Just to test it for you, I have placed one buy and one sell orders for Mini Dax Futures just now in the paper account and they were accepted, no issues. Are you still having this PITA problem?

Maybe, I can't assure that. Keep complaining with IB support, this issue is unresolved for too long.

My account is IBIE.

Just tested BRR @CMECRYPTO (Bitcoin CME) and DAX @DTB (Dax EUREX) on paper account for you. It is accepting orders normally...

Thank you for clarifying that for me. We are always learning...

Thank you for you reply and information. I am aware of IB's rules regarding the physical delivery. To make sure before my previous post that you mentioned I consulted IB's website, and it states the following: "START OF CLOSE-OUT PERIOD: 2 business days prior to cutoff" The "GC Feb 21"...

Thank you for the information. I am sorry, I hadn't seen that thread. Thank you as well for directing me to the CME Communication Group's alerts. I wasn't aware of its existence. I have just registered to it.

Sorry people, some more bad news: When checking my today's trade statement, I realized that IB is charging more $0.05 per contract on the micro e-mini futures. It was $0.47 per contract until at least last Friday. It is a price raise of more than 10%, without any previous notice. I checked...

Just tested again and it is just happening with "GC Feb24'21". No problems with the next expiration or Silver products. Are you experiencing the same issues?
