IB Forex

[ssierra]

Hi,

I am using the last beta but its section in the forum has disappeared. I have been testing NT with a demo account and now I have a live one. I am starting to do some testing with the IB demo account (not paper trading) and each order in Forex is giving me the message attached. Additionally, maybe related with the problem before, the ATM strategies are not launched properly so it is no generating the stop and the target.

Many thanks

What is your entry order size?

[ssierra]

25.000 that is the IDEALPRO size.

Hi Dierk,

I did it but I have the same error. I tried in another PC and it is the same. I sent the log to support.

This is an IB message. I suggest contacting your broker and asking for clarification what that message means.

I have noticed another issue. The unrealized P&L is different with 25.000 contract in EURUSD I have about 150$ difference between what IB and NT is showing. IB is showing a worst situation.

Thanks

Unfortunately we don't know IB calculates their unrealized PnL. They might go for a different logic than NT which explains the difference you see.

I think the problem was that i was trading EURUSD not USDEUR so the size should be 18.000 as per the table below:

Underlying Currency
Minimum Order Size
Maximum Order Size
AUD
30,000
7,000,000
CAD
27,000
6,000,000
CHF
30,000
7,000,000
EUR
18,000
4,500,000
GBP
13,000
3,000,000
HKD
200,000
45,000,000
JPY
3,000,000
700,000,000
MXN
250,000
60,000,000
SEK
175,000
50,000,000
USD
25,000
6,000,000


With this both issues seams to be sorted out.

Thanks
