I have been experiencing an issue with Interactive Brokers for quite some time and it happened again today. My automated strategy takes the initial entry and exits (PT/SL) as expected, however, the 2nd entry (i.e. re-entry) is completely ignored. There are some days where my strategy has multiple entries (during a volatile day) but the 2nd trade is never initiated. There is nothing in the log/trace file when entry signal is trigger. My workaround for this has been to 'disable' and 'reenable' the strategy after every completed IB trade and this way the next trade is taken. Clearly this is not ideal.
I run 2 instances of the same strategy on 2 accounts - GFF Brokers and IB (same exact code) simultaneously via NT multi broker license. I have absolutely no issues with GFF (multiple entries, reentries) whereas IB only takes the first trade and then stalls unless I disable/reenable IB strategy. My connection to IB is via TWS978 (I have used gateway 978 in the past as well but had the same problem there).
I have checked with platform support a few times on this issue and they have reviewed log/trace files but the problem still exists.
Hoping someone can help me out here....I am starting to give up on IB altogether. Thanks.
