Order delays

Recommended Posts

When placing orders or cancelling orders there is sometimes a few second delay.  I have used MT with questrade and paper trading through IB and both had the delays occasionally.

At first I thought the orders were being delayed for risk review at the broker but I then noticed that they aren't even showing up in the open trades list during this time.  Then a few seconds later they suddenly execute.

I would estimate this is happening about 5 times a day when I would place 50-100 trades

Quick execution is critical for me.

if you see it happen with IB, I need to get a log. Next time it happens, if you have a chance, send a log right away and note exactly what happened and what exact order (preferably it was the last order you sent)

Go to FILE / HELP => Send Log/Settings to support menu (from Dashboard or Portfolio)

And add this Post’s URL in the comment along with the description above
