Interactive Brokers ‘Warning’ Messages

[TerryDunne]

Hi all,

I’m getting annoyed by the ‘warning’ messages I get from Interactive Brokers when loading orders via Basket Trader. 

The most frequent one tells me that I have insufficient market data and therefore I’m risking etc. etc. etc.

Has anybody found a way to make these messages go away?

Happy Easter!

Terry

I don’t think so. You should only get a single one.

Hi Nick,

I get a message or two with each basket. I have 17 baskets…

[Nick Radge]

OK, so I think we need to address the number of baskets. 
I assume you’re trading 17 strategies? 

So, you can either combine strategies in one set of code, or, generate the 17 csv’s then copy and paste into a single csv for basket placement?

[TerryDunne]

Of course!

Thanks Nick!

I received the following warning when loading orders tonight and was hoping others might share their action when seeing such a message from IB.

For context, TER closed last night at approx 143 with an earnings release after 5pm…..my buylimit order was placed at about 140 but I can see some after hours trading has the last trade currently at about 133 so it seems some people are unhappy with the news.
Any recommendations on whether:
a. cancel trade
b. move buylimit to price cap of 137.93 

All responsibility on me, of course, for the choice but wondering if others more knowledge than I (ie everyone in forum) have a plan for these situations?
