IbBroker live Trading / IdealPro minimum value / error code : 399 / Odd Lot Orders reported as Rejected


  • Hello,

    When my python script place an order, and the order value is below the IdealPro minimum value (placing an Odd Lot Order).
    Ideal pro report an error code : 399, with error message :
    Warning: Your order size is below the EUR 20000 IdealPro minimum and will be routed as an odd lot order.

    The order is reported as rejected by the Backtrader platform, but in reality the order seems executed.

    See the log below :

    As you can see the new position match the previous target lot value.

  • hmm, at first sight it seems like a bug in IBBroker:

    Looking at ibbroker.py:

    def push_ordererror(self, msg):
        with self._lock_orders:
            try:
                order = self.orderbyid[msg.id]
            except (KeyError, AttributeError):
                return  # no order or no id in error

            if msg.errorCode == 202:
                if not order.alive():
                    return
                order.cancel()
            elif msg.errorCode == 201:  # rejected
                if order.status == order.Rejected:
                    return
                order.reject()
            else:
---->        order.reject()  # default for all other cases

    called from ibstore.py registered error notify method:

        @ibregister
    def error(self, msg):
        # 300-399 A mix of things: orders, connectivity, tickers, misc errors
        ...  # < code removed for clarity >
        if msg.errorCode is None:
        ...  # < code removed for clarity >
        elif msg.errorCode < 500:
            # Given the myriad of errorCodes, start by assuming is an order
            # error and if not, the checks there will let it go
            if msg.id < self.REQIDBASE:
                if self.broker is not None:
---->            self.broker.push_ordererror(msg)
            else:
                # Cancel the queue if a "data" reqId error is given: sanity
                q = self.qs[msg.id]
                self.cancelQueue(q, True)

    The order is marked rejected for every "unknown" ( to be more exact - unhandled) error/warning.

    @backtrader , @ab_trader , @run-out - could you please also take a look ? is it correct ?
