Stuck Limit Up?

I'm with IB, using TWS, I can place a buy order for HEV19 without problems - I have not 'Transmitted' the order because I don't actually want to trade it. I was just testing.

Here's a screenshot of the recent trades using TaS. Note, that I am at GMT+1 hours, so my 18:00 hours is 12:00 noon Chicago time etc.

Interesting. They why did TWS rejected my order and the IB trading desk wouldn't let me out. They said it's at limit up???

Have any of you guys been stuck limit up? I was making money long lean hog futures(HE symbol on IB). Then I decided to be clever and short. And now it's limit up. fck! And there's nothing IB can do. I can't get out.

Really scared now. I forgot or hadn't realize that limit up can happen. In index futures it rarely happens.

There have been at least three limit days in lean hog futures during the past ninety days. On August 16 the Oct contract was limit down.

Hopefully you can get out.
 
Looks like it started trading again. Did you get out?

I got burned shorting lumber after it went limit up for a couple days in 2017. Pretty much quit trading it after that.

this is my first time trading lean hog futures. I was able to get out 1 lot in one account(still have 4 more to go). 2 lots in the other account(which made it flat).

Now it's limit up again and I can't get out. I put in a limit order to get out the remaining. Hopefully they get hit.

I only able to get some. Partial fills. Then it went back to limit up. I need it to trade normally again in order to fill the rest.
