Order size <.02M rejected by Interactive Brokers for FX

[kjohnson67]

Hello:

I recently began trading via NT Strategy on Interactive Brokers (IB). The following has happened twice and want some advice.

1. My strategy triggered a market entry (sell) for.1M
2. The entry was accepted by IB servers and executed
3. The execution was in two parts .082M and .018M
4. My strategy also calls for a limit buy and a stop loss as well
5. When these orders were transmitted to IB the limit order for the .018M was rejected by IB servers because it was below their .02M threshold
6. This caused NT to immediately exit position at market (like 5 seconds later) with a loss to me

BTW, each trade would have won had this not happened. My question is if anyone has had this type of problem and is there anyway that NT can speicfy the fill to make sure that it is not filled in a way to give less than .02M on any partial fill. I am also trying to speak with IB about this as well.

Thanks

There is nothing NinjaTrader can do for what you get partially filled at. This is completely a function over at your brokerage. When NinjaTrader sees 0.018M as a partial fill the only thing it can do is submit your stop loss/profit targets at 0.018M.

What you can try instead is going to Tools->Options->Strategies->NinjaScript and select "By strategy position" for "Stop & target submission". You may still hit your problem if your strategy gets 0.018M as the first partial fill though. NT will still submit you protective orders at 0.018M, but just modify that order to cover your whole 0.1M when the rest gets filled. If you get part filled at 0.082M first then another 0.018M this will mitigate the problem in terms of the original protective orders go in at 0.082M and then a modification to that order to 0.1M will be sent.
