How To Turn Off IB Warning Messages

How do I disable the warning messages from IB when I run an automated strategy from a chart? They cause needless delay in order execution since I have to click to confirm.

Hi Jeff, thanks for your post.

On Trader Workstation, navigate to the File > Global Configuration > API > Precautions menu. On this screen, check the 'Bypass Order Precautions for API Orders' button, then press OK. This should disable order confirmations within Trader Workstation.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

I did that, but IB is still send annoying messages. I will try to capture exact wording next time it happens.

Hi Jeff, thanks for your reply.

In that case, you might try checking the other boxes on the Precautions screen as well, as these will disable different types of order messages. To clarify, are these confirmations coming from within Trader Workstation?

Looking forward to your reply.

Yes, from TWS. Jeff

Hi Jeff, thanks for your reply.

I recommend sending Interactive Brokers a note as well if you receive these messages on Trader Workstation again. It is likely they will have some further information about what is causing them and how to disable them on TWS.
