Re: Long on the stock, want to exit but: Order rejected The contract is not available for short sale

Ace, my experience of the paper-trading system, which I actively use all day every trading day, would lead me to suggest that it's unlikely that what you describe indicates a flaw in the system. My bet would be that there's something you've overlooked in your program. ? As a ?general suggestion, I'd say that if you cannot prove from your logs that your position was exactly what you think it was and that your closing order was for exactly that quantity, then you're probably not logging enough information. ? And if you can prove it from your logs, then you should raise it with IB because I'm quite certain that they'd be keen to know of such a flaw. ? Richard ? ?

Subject: Re: [TWS API] Long on the stock, want to exit but: Order rejected The contract is not available for short sale? Hi Peter,
I found the paper trading testing of algo to be pretty good...up to now.
Are there other major quirks of the paper trading I should be aware of?
Thank you
