I.c. Thx hwkaiser.

Another question: Why I can't see my signature at the bottom of posts? I filled a signature in my profile & took the checkbox at post edit page.

Hi everyone, Is it possible to use IB as TradeStation's data provider? Thx.

There might be no problem with Bracket Trader or IB API at all. That's why most you guys had never got such weird observations. BTW, anyone noticed the missing bar problem in QuoteTracker? Frequently one or two bars are missed in QT if I launch QT AFTER market open.

This problem is probably caused by IB server reset. My paper trade account is using IB server in U.S., which resets at noon time in Hong Kong. I got this problem in IB's BookTrader. So I called their customer support. Thanks all!

I agree. IB's API should be reasonably stable otherwise it can't be this big today. I requested a password for ButtonTrader for the paper trade account. They rejected because they believe IB's papertrader is buggy and not stable. Perhaps IB paper trading accounts don't work well thru API...

Just checked IB, I saw a LMT BUY with a "T" status. I cancelled a status "T" orders whenever i saw one. I did too many clicks, so don't even know when I did this in BT.

This problem happened again. All of a sudden Bracket Trader doesn't send orders to IB. (Not exactly not sending, becoz these orders appears in IB seemingly in random with a delay of 1~5 minutes) Reloading BT doesn't help. Actually after a restart, BT can't even get quotes from IB for say 8...

the first day my paper trade account was opened, i saw the question marks too.

1/50. Then it could be intermittent network connection interrupt, i guess. If your solution indeed improves the situation, then there might be bugs in IB API's listening threads...they have concurrency issues perhaps.

LMT orders are stored on the transaction system. The quoted price just can't touch 54 if there is a LMT SELL at 53.

The best assumption would be: my IB paper trading account is not ready yet. -- I haven't received their confirmation e-mail.

BigBubba, thx for the reply. The observation is indeed very strange. Sometimes I got net position with BT when I strictly followed steps of open/close on a single contract. These things resulted in very different real-time simulated results from backtesting. I'd check out the BT forum.

Hi, I encountered a problem with BracketTrader + IB combination. I entered a LMT SELL at *353 when the price is at *346. Then the price went up to *355, but my order was not filled! and at this moment, I looked at IB's pending order list, I saw a "T" at the status column! In a few minutes...

Max, Kiwi, thank you for the reply. 1. Max, I don't have an account. I'm very new to the field of trading. I am reading chart of Intel (INTC). Perhaps there are multiple 'worlds' in the demo server farm. I'd take a look at paper trader, thx for telling me this. 2. Kiwi, I guess you are...

Hi, I'm a newbie to trading and trying out TWS. I noticed that the price in TWS doesn't match those on YAHOO! What's going on? E.g., TWS demo shows INTC reaches $30 on sept 4, while on yahoo daily high is about $26.3 R.
