Rant away, it can be lonely trading and a good rant can help! 😀

Do you get Reasons for Stoppage with IBKR? If yes, what were the reasons?

hi jebus,

I had exactly same on the same days (thursday and friday) as you on futures. I had the same for few days last summer, and I assume the issue was/is recently same like last summer since the “symptoms” are exactly the same. and PRT was telling that time the issue was on IB side, some IT issue, something like: PRT does not receive order confirmation from IB (for exit order/s) – and in that case they close the open position for “your protection”. ok, technical issues can happen, but the ugly part is that there is basically no communication from PRT to clients. I received some message only after I contacted them last friday myself. they were telling yes they recognize the issue, and I should not restart the algos until they confirm issue is solved. today there is still no message that the issue is solved still, no updates at all. I am curious when they solve it resp. if they ever issue that message. this behaviour from PRT was unfortunatelly exactly same when years ago I was trading CFDs: you report the issue, they promise solution, but you possibly never hear about solution being implemented. therefore I was even stopping opening the tickets, since no use anyway. what a service…

cheers
