Subject : Broker Stop not working
Posted : 11/14/2018 4:44 PM
Post #45621
My account is linked to IB and I place my trades with a trade plan from OT. My default trade plan uses a broker stop for profit and exit. Today my stop did not activate even though the stock went through the stop.
I pick my own prices for stop and profit target and enter them as actual values as limits and stops when I use the trade plan and then submit. The buy order immediately appears in IB.
Occasionally once the trade is filled the IB order will show the stop but I can't confirm that in IB until there is a fill.
For the open trade that should have stopped out, by right clicking on a chevron in OT and selecting orders the trade plan comes up with the right prices but the broker stop is not checked.







What am I doing wrong?
