i have to repeat this question again-wtf is wrong with IB?
trying to close long position with limit sell order-got rejected cause stock is NOT SHORTABLE. wtf?

amount of shares is same, in order and long position, but i tried to transfer presubmitted order,which i place(but did not transmitt) shortly after i open long position.i have all the logs of this bs

Did you use TWS? You are aware of the problem that the selected ordertypes will not 'stick' sometimes due to some select-list bug on earlier versions. Happened to me sometimes.Quote from Spooz Top:
same here....i placed sell limit 5 points above market & it was treated as market order.....selling out 1/2 my position at market???![]()

Does the audit say 'limit'?
