IB "closed" my long position at 15:19 EST today when the market hit my stop order price. This was supposed execute 23 hours ago at ACE since it was a native order residing at ACE. I think IB might be offsetting customers positions, matching them internally. I have no explanation otherwise...

This is not good news at all!!! I don't want to trade on an exchange without native stop protection. Well, last night was a great example. Thanks for the link... Chinook

FX-Trader, Could you please give the full link where they explain the order types that will be available on e-cbot. Thanks. Chinook

My account still reflects the open position. I've been on the phone many times today with IB. I was told that they received execution report from ACE for my stop order and that trade will be posted to my account today. YM's trading +20 in my favor now, so this takes off the stress now. Although...

Yes IB's sytem was down during the outage. Their back up systems for some reason didn't kick in.

Stop orders are native in ACE.

IB still doesn't know about the status of my position. I still see that my position is open. But it was shown as closed last night. I'm very nervous now!!! Serenity now!!!!

I had a long YM position with a protective stop order pending at CBOT (green status) before the outage. The stop order should have closed my position during the outage. Now IB is back on-line and I still have my long YM position. Does anyone have a similar situation? Chinook

The Market Depth for YM seems to 4-5 seconds delayed compared to current best bid/ I have in TWS. I have no problems with NQ and ES market depths. Has anyone else seen this too? Is this a problem with CBOT? Thanks, Chinook

Andre, You live in Portland, OR right? Trader Joes has these for about $1.79 per bar.

I have no problems with my NQ orders with IB. I have my stop limit orders residing in Globex anyway.

Fast Trader, I suggest you try to adding to your losing position and see how you are handling it. Let's see, after your second contract got executed: 1) The market keeps going against your position. a) The P/L column is showing some negative number that you thought you would never...

With ES/NQ one can go through all these emotions within 15 minutes which took about 15 hours in the article!

Can somebody let me know where I can find historical margin requirements for NQ/ES? I got curious about what NQ/ES overnight margin req. were during summer of 2002. Thanks. Chinook

I had the same problem. I was using BT2003 to adjust my protective stop order and as I changed my stop the order status stayed blue. And eventually it got green. So I thought I had my stop where I wanted and then NQ broke down and to my surprise my stop was hit!!! The stop in my TWS was about 10...

Thanks momo.

Excellent post. Especially, for the e-mini traders, you can have the protective stop limit reside in Globex. I also had two outages with IB today; in both cases, I already had my protective stop limit orders pending in Globex.

Thank you all for your feedback. Chinook

I have problems with real-time data and reliability issues with TS. I am also looking for alternatives. See my posts. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20233 I think Neoticker looks very promising. It needs a datafeed--e-signal and NAQ can both feed it. Good luck...

momo, I'm using latest build for TS7. Which versions are you running? The problem might be server specific too. Thanks, Chinook
