The "auto reuse rejected orders" is on by default and will submit any rejected orders once a connection is re-connected after a disruption in service. This is handy if you are away from you computer during the re-connection of service.
Where is the setting bigbubba?
The one I found was:
Reuse rejected order - if checked, rejected orders will remain on the trading page
which doesnt say anything about transmission ... I have however unticked it.
There is no auto-reuse in 878 that I can find ... is yours an earlier version of TWS?
I dont think thats right. "resuse rejected orders" all it does is leave a rejected order with 'T' state in TWS so you can modify and resubmit.
I looked in log and i see a lot of rejected orders because of lack of margin.
In total the OP was lacking over a million USD based on whats in the log.
All the following orders were rejected:
RB 10:30:00:958 AWT-EventQueue-0: "SELL 2400000 GBP.USD CASH at 1.99350"
RB 10:30:01:690 AWT-EventQueue-0: "SELL 1200000 GBP.JPY CASH at 229.500"
RB 10:30:02:181 AWT-EventQueue-0: "SELL 2400000 GBP.USD CASH at 1.99350"
RB 10:30:02:236 AWT-EventQueue-0: "SELL 1200000 GBP.CAD CASH at 2.0470"
RB 10:30:02:372 AWT-EventQueue-0: "BUY 1700000 EUR.GBP CASH at 0.69500"
RB 10:30:02:393 AWT-EventQueue-0: "BUY 1650000 EUR.GBP CASH at 0.69510"
RB 10:30:02:400 AWT-EventQueue-0: "SELL 67 6BZ7 FUT at 1.9890"
RB 10:30:02:596 AWT-EventQueue-0: "SELL 66 6BZ7 FUT at 1.9889"
Only the last order was resubmited at reconnection.
Im just wondering what trading strategy the OP was using, seems like a crazy way to trade, or more likely the OP didnt know exactly what he was doing?

You guys are scaring me!! I don't want to have to go through TWS and learn all that ambiguous shit... where's my NinjaTrader Icon?? Where's my glasses too, I can't read all that krap, for murgatroid's sake, I want to place trades not act like some genius, trading is easier than the order window at McDonalds... now they tell me about all this weird shit in TWS, what's the world coming to? STOP THE WORLD I WANT TO GET OFFFFFFF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the situation i know of when a live order can be hidden is if you have tws installations on different computers, and set up their layouts differently.
or if you copy a layout from another installation to yours.
i've never experienced the OP's problem, but i have on multiple occasions had phantom trades. the thing is, i never placed those orders to begin with. they just executed out of thin air and then my account showed the new positions. but a little later they were busted and my account positions were re-adjusted.
i figured my problems were at the exchange or their clearing firm or caused by human error at ib's trade desk. they didnt seem like a tws problem.
