I placed orders today as I usually do for ASX trades. The attached screen shot shows the orders are working at the correct prices but have somehow got fills at completely different prices.

None of the orders shown got actual fills in the market and none of those stocks have traded at those prices. I can’t even see stocks available on other exchanges with those ticker symbols?

That is weird. I’ll be interested to see what Levente thinks

The same thing happened to me a few months ago. Set the orders at 5pm for the next open, checked in the morning before it opened and it said i had random fills like yours…

Hasn’t happened since though.

Feel free to delete this when it turns out to be completely wrong….but could it reduce chances of things going wrong with api/IB interface if have exchange set to asx rather than smart ? I’m sure it shouldn’t but is there a problem if did use just ASX ?

The good thing that none were filled at these prices.

one way to avoid such thing is to create multiple copies of the batch trader and each one will have its own ID and each copy will be used for a certain system.

because sometimes TWS send old messages, and the messages are tagged with the API ID.
So in case you used the same API ID last night for the US trades you will find those trades over there (look by the fill price).

but it is still weird scary stuff when the stock is at 0.2 and you see filled at 80

I ran both API’s in the US last night without issue.

Levente has said a later version to what I am using negates this but he’s still looking into it.

Anyone use BatchTrader v1.5.0 Build 064 27.02.2017?

Levente is saying I need to upgrade. Another CHF700….like owning a B.O.A.T

Good idea Scott. Did that this morning – a good fail safe I think.

Same issues happening today again. I changed the routing from SMART to ASX so should be real fills. Only issue is if I need the API to limit orders – its registering fills from somewhere.

Must say I’m a little peeved at having to fork out another CHF700 for an upgrade to an already existing program.

And to add to my frustrations today the VPS decided to switch off last night mid session. Needless to say I had open positions in my MOC system when I logged in. Managed to exit a few in after hours but stuck with a couple till tomorrow.

That’s what i thought also..

I’m assuming you haven’t upgraded yet and the issues are with the old one?

Yes, although admittedly the new version has much more advanced features to the one I’m using now.

Should be an upgrade fee. Given the business you’ve given him, he should be providing you one at gratis
