NT + IB problem in realtime orders / strategy

thomas79 · 2011-12-06T06:43:35-05:00

Hi i started my first strategy in real time with IB TWS Monday morning, i started my strategy with "wait until flat before executing live" Monday evening i shut down my computer after the closing with an open long position with stop and target orders. Today morning, (Tuesday), before the market opens, i change the option to "immediately submit live working historical orders", because i assume than the strategy position and the account position are in the same way (long). i launched IB TWS, the connection is ok, i can see my long position, the stop and target orders appear on Ninja "Orders" page but with the Strategy ID column blank (no name of my strategy). I'm little bit worried about that and i decide to launch the same strategy but in sim101 account... at 12:00 (mid day) my strategy on sim101 is closing the position and is canceling all the orders (stop and profit)... but nothing happens on the strategy with IB.. the long position is still here and the stop and target orders as well... Anyone know this problem and can help me ?
