Debugging "Pending Submit" stalls

[joesandyego]

Hi,
My strategies all use simulated trailing stop losses. Yesterday several were triggered to buy/sell. But many of the orders appeared to stall in the state of "Pending Submit" in the Orders Tab. I am looking through the Trace file for clues and the first strange thing that I see is this:

2012-04-10 10:23:45:303 WARNING: Order Event Warning:Attribute 'Outside Regular Trading Hours' is ignored based on the order type and destination. PlaceOrder is now being processed. 2109

As you can see by the time stamp this is during trading hours and so why would there be a warning that this is outside of trading hours? I am using US Equities RTH and this is a NYSE traded ETF that trades 1M+ shares per day. I use IB with an advisor account.

Any idea why this warning would come up? I realize that it is just a warning and it was ignored, but....

Thanks.

joesandyego,

This message comes from Interactive Brokers. I believe it can be safely ignored but you will want to check with them for the specifics.

Hi Adam,
IB claims that this is an issue related to NT using an older version of the IB API. I will continue to work through this with them and send them log files, but it sounds like they are just going to send it all back to NT and say that you need to update the IB API that you use.

Anyways.... I'll keep looking to see why my trades got stuck in pending.

Best.

Outside trading hours

Did you get a solution to this warning? It has been delaying my entries. I have checked the IB TWS presets to allow outside reg trading hours etc.... still get the log message which doesnt matter in itself.. but delayed entries do matter.

Regards and thx

This would just be a warning everington_f that would be expected to get ignored, it should not delay order processing -

'WARNING: Order Event Warning:Attribute 'Outside Regular Trading Hours' is ignored based on the order type and destination. PlaceOrder is now being processed. 2109'

I am getting quite long delays... around 20 seconds, if you see the log you will understand what I mean

Please send those to us via Help > Mail to Support so we could review. The message itself is just a warning...
