Open Trades view with IB Gateway?

Hi

 

Apologies for the dumb newbie question, but I can't figure out how to display a list of open trades. I use Trader with IB's Gateway plus an automated trading app and it would be mighty handy to be able to double check the orders the automated app is placing (they are all MOC) before they actually get executed. 

 

Many thanks

In MT, the orders are shown on ACCOUNT VIEW window, TRANSACTIONS tab.

NOTE: if your automated trading app is connecting directly to the IB gateway, not MT API, then there will be a problem seeing its orders in MT because of the way IB segregates stuff. IF MT is set to connect as Client ID 0, then you may be able to see the orders from your automated app if you manually hit F5 on the Account view window, but they will definitely not auto update.
