IB Server side OCO with parent order?

[tobbe]

I have read through this: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=5349

When it comes to server side handling of OCO orders with Interactive Brokers:

Does NT submit the parent order (entry order) together with the OCO order (as can be done from TWS)?

Or does NT submit the parent order (entry order), wait for a fill, and then submit the OCO order?

Sorry if this is in the documentation or has been discussed before, I was unable to find it. And I don't want to sign up for a live version again just to check this for myself.

Best wishes,
T

Hi tobbe, NinjaTrader would wait for the fill of your entry order and then submit the OCO exit bracket to IB's servers where it would be natively handled (if you set this in your account connection options for IB, local PC side handling would be possible as well).

So the OCA will never be placed if I lose connectivity and get fill while disconnected. This is a serious issue...

Correct, as this would need serverside OCO support.

After learning placing OCO stop orders and purchasing NT Live Trading I see this .
Is it still the same or any changes?
What about NT8?

michi08, thanks for checking in here. I will add your vote in our enhancement trackings lists for this item, server side OCO handling is supported, however the entry order with your exits would not be sent as so called atomic order.
