Hi traders,

Just to be sure: when I have an open position with target and stop orders in place, will InteractiveBrokers still execute those even when I am disconnected overnight?

I guess so, just want to get confirmation :-)

Thx, Chris

Why can't you simply use the IB paper account, send the order with its stop, and then unplug your ethernet cable?
IB stop orders will keep on their servers, but you'll have a real confirmation

I have a similar situation and my orders are controlled by strategy from Ninja sent to IB using API.
so what happens to the open orders, when I restart ninja in the weekend ?
