Rui You have to open a ticket and ask them to switch to the US server. They do it over the week end. But be careful that It may be not a good move If You have your server in Europe. Personally I would inquiry before the trade desk and clarify what's going on as I do think the server is not the...

Trailing stop?

I would call the trade desk and ask politely what's going on. I am using the US server which BTW You can switch as well if You wish so. Demo is not useful because You want to know what 's happening in the live account not demo. You can try placing limit order far from the prices in order to...

I have not seen the issue in the last few days.

Paper account test is not a meaningful test.

Totally agree. This policy is absurd.

I noticed this behavior as well. Interestingly the pattern seems to be coincidental with market volatile conditions. (Pretty much every day in March 2020) Hence i believe is due to extra time required for their server to check for customer margin requirements. Or something other else, for...

A streak of losses happens..u just need to investigate if it’s expected or not.

MC is perfect If You don't need OOEL. Never tried it for this reason.

BigRed what U posted in this thread is correct: TS is a 32 bit software best for charting and strategy development. While IB is "the broker" with tons of mkts, algo, banking flexibility, currencies etc. The execution at TS (on futures) is way worse than IB and this is mainly due to two reasons...

I have been able to login around 8:30 CT without data. Then hours later data arrived. But I had a trade on TSLA at around 2 pm where the orders were not placed and I wasn't able to cancel them. Also I am still hearing connection re-established from time to time.. It seems still not 100% ready..

no data here. Placing manually trades in another account...

What They are waiting to switch server.. wtf!

I guess the morale of this story is not the wrong choosing of the stock or whatever but the wrong position sizing model. Adding to looser can have some merit in some circumstances providing that there is a stop loss in place. (which unfortunately is big when we add to looser)
