Re: Flex Queries: Order Reference always empty
Is there a way to retrieve Exchange Execution ID or to track by that (exists in TWS)? This of course only happens after transacted but should be a solid one.

Re: Paper Trading with MKT orders
Thanks Mark. That was a great suggestion that did give me insights into the real issue (that you alluded to subtly). There is strong correlation between IB prices and what I expect to so based on

Re: Flex Queries: Order Reference always empty
I agree, this could easily be in the top 5 features on my wishlist, even though with the daily report mail-ins it would merely offer convenience rather than a full blown upgrade. I would even settle

Re: Flex Queries: Order Reference always empty
Thanks for the reply. Already doing this, however reports are supposed to be self-sufficient. External tools may fail, mails may get lost, etc. It is very unfortunate that IB does not keep that info,

Re: Flex Queries: Order Reference always empty
