Exceeding Size Limit at Connection

[Jan Gullett]

The NinjaTrader log shows the following Default Category Message each time I connect to Interactive Brokers:

"The following order "ID-XXX" size exceeds the Size Limit of 4,001.
Restriction is specified in Precautionary Settings of Global Configuration/Presets. 383"

I cannot determine where this order is coming from and why it should be so large. All of my desired orders have smaller quantities. How can I trace the source to make sure I do not have an unwanted order placed in the future?

Hi,

I just got a similar error message for the first time. What was the solution?

Thanks,

Hello ZenMachine,

The error message indicates you submitted an order that exceeds the size limit you setup in TWS. You can adjust the limit in TWS. Please open the Global Configuration menu in TWS. Click 'Presets' and you will see 'Precautionary Settings' which you can change to your liking to avoid the error message.

That was it. Thanks!!
