1. As many of us, I work with InteractiveBrokers ( IB ), and as others brokerage firm, they have a trading forex rule when working in in tenth/pips: despite we are able to see those quotes, a better granularity, when any order is submitted, it always has to be in halfpips, other than those levels will trigger a rejection from the broker with the following message:
The price does not conform to the minimum price variation for this contract. affected Order: Buy 100000 Limit @ 1.17792.
So, the NT simulator should have included this rule or at least giving an error with this info. Instead, at this moment, the message received is a little bit confusing, for example:
A BUY Limit Entry order can only be placed as an order to buy below the current market rate the key here is that we need to know is about sending orders in halfpips and not a price that doesn't make sense to the best bid or ask. Please take note of this because it still is pretty unknown according to some of my post, here one:
Here related info coming from IB:
2. My Strategy needs to work unmanaged with limit orders, so there are many critical aspects in the code that I need to manage through debugging and adjusting, but sadly at this time is not possible for me to test my beta versions in the simulator ( acc sim101 ) because the simulator only works with FXCM's narrow trading rules when most of us work with other major brokers such as IB. The simulator is a very critical tool that all of us need to use before going with real money accounts. I really hope that you understand the urgency of this request, it's not something to put for votes to see if it's really a popular request feature, it's a needed feature.
Thanks for your attention
