Quote from IBsoft:

The A/D orders are managed from the TWS. That will be the case for the foreseeable future.

We were planning to move the algorithm to the backend at one point, but we changed our mind.

Thanks for chipping in and clarifying. I am very curious though as to why this is the case? I mean whenever an exception is made to a general practice (like here all orders being at server with A/D being an exception), there is generally a well defined reason to make that exception. Can you please enlighten us a bit more on why you guys changed your mind. Thank You.

Although that's disappointing, I appreciate the reply. Can I ask why the decision was made to abandon the project? As a customer, I find these types of things to be much less frustrating when given the rationale for the decision (whether I agree with the thinking or not).

Edit: oops, sorry gmst, I didn't realize there was another page in this thread already before I replied.

I have to agree with the others; this decision is indeed a disappointment and should be reconsidered.
