IB order rejected

E

After lunch hours,
IB rejected future order.
"Order rejected - could not value this contract at this time"
I am waiting for their explanation response.
Anyone have similar problem?
:(
 
it happens...i once got a partial fill on a naz stock for 496sh out of 500, i think thru ARCA, which allows odd lots. so i left the sell order open for the last 4 shares and like 5min later it cancelled it and told me it was invalid.


#@$#@! thing....
 
Yes, several times the last hour. This happens once a week it seems. I believe it's their execution server loses its quote feed, so it can't execute stops, etc. Limit orders work when this happens though I believe.

If you're using stops and it goes past without executing, make sure you cancel it, cause when it comes back online, it fills at current price.
 
I had this problem several times today. so i decided to quit for the day at 3 p.m., in their last bulletin IB stated that everything was ok at 15:13. Entered a trade again, which I tried to close with a profit (the spike on the ES), after several rejections got out with a small loss. I really don't understand, why these guys send out messages that everything is resolved, when it's not. When all their systems are working IB is a great broker, and I have have nothing to complain about, but I haven't experienced one whole week without problems since I'm trading with them. I'm wondering if these connection problems occur as frequent with other brokers.
 
Question: i nly use hot keys to enter market buys and market sells. is that why i was oblivious to a problem many traders hAd today?? ( judging from chat room comments)
 
Didn't anybody else have their system go down about 2:45 or so?

My screen went pink, i closed the program and it wouldn't load up.

I had to reboot my computer to get back on.

Was it just me this afternoon, or did anybody else have TWS go down on them?
