the papertrading account says

million dollar USD in account.

but lastnight i have placed five bracket orders --> SELL EURUSD 3 million pending sell order (because 3 million is limit per order)

3000000 EURUSD SELL STPLMT @ 1.4800
3000000 EURUSD BUY STP @ 1.4833
3000000 EURUSD BUY MKT @ GAT 22:00:00 (close position at end of day)

3000000 EURUSD SELL STPLMT @ 1.4800
3000000 EURUSD BUY STP @ 1.4833
3000000 EURUSD BUY MKT @ GAT

3000000 EURUSD SELL STPLMT @ 1.4800

today i see that only 3 million dollar sell order has been executed.

what happened to the other 12 million sell order ?

they are all bracket orders, each with unique id.

is this because of margin or what ?

this is funny because i sent out the exact same orders on a friends paper account and yea lot of good fake profits on his account.

Maybe there's not enough liquidity for 3M at your price limit?
Consider paying a few pips more.
 
not possible as the first bracket order was filled. they all have IDEALPRO as exchange.

most likely its a problem on my part. i'll have to fix it.
 
i think i see the problem.

sometimes order dont get filled completely.

so what i resorted to is placing new bracket orders with increment 3 pips.

i still dont know whether this will have any success, i'll know by tomorrow.

is fill-all-or-kill type of order for forex on IB ?

because it'd be sticky siktutation if i was not completely filled, and my positions were closed automaticdally with preset size.....or does bracketorder figure sizes by itself....even tho i specified a certain size that equals the parent...
