IB and Active strategy

[astrolobe]

When I place an order using the ATM that is under the IB minimum for IDEALPRO, then after the IB message pops up stating the order will be routed as an 'odd lot' , then the 'Active ATM strategy in the drop down dissappears.

This does not happen if I place an order over the IDEALPRO minimum like 40,000.

To replicate:

1. Use an IB account.
2. Create an ATM strategy for a FX pair, eg. EURUSD for 8,000.
3. After the IB odd lot message, look for the Active ATM strategy in the drop down...it should be missing.

Hello astrolobe,

Unfortunately this is as expected because the entry order is rejected initially since it less than the IB minimum. After the rejection, the entry order is accepted again.

To avoid the missing ATM strategy, you will need to avoid the initial rejection - submit orders that meet the IB minimum.
