Post 15 says that "But the question is whether Overnight+Day applies to all symbols. Would there be a problem using it for certain symbols." IB says clients can trade over 10,000 U.S. stock and ETFs from 8:00 PM EST to 3:50 AM EST Sunday to Friday using the IBKR Overnight destination. This should only be a problem for a small subset of stocks. The current situation is that orders are not being filled because they are not marked with Time in Force: 'Overnight' or 'Overnight + Day'. The small subset of stocks that do not allow overnight trading should be rejected by IBKR. See the attachment. https://www.sierrachart.com/Download.php?Folder=SupportBoard&download=123276 Post 13 says "Thinking about this. It is very impractical for us to be adding new time in force types. Especially ones which are specific to a particular trading service and will confuse users in other cases. We really cannot do that. That is a lot of work and complexity involved. Thinking about how else this can be solved." The existing SC Trade Window has an option for TimeInForce: Send Order At Time and a data field to specify the time. The Trade Window has the security listed in the title bar ex: 'TSLA-STK-SMART-USD'. Instead of adding new TimeInForce dropdowns for 'Overnight' and 'Overnight + Day' to the Trade Window, why not add logic/code behind the scenes in the Trade Window, transparent to users that 1) Checks if the security is a 'STK' based on the Trade Window title bar 2) Checks if TimeInForce is set to 'Send Order At Time' between 8:00 PM EST and 3:50 AM EST. If the order is marked as TimeInForce 'Send Order At Time' and time between 8:00 PM EST and 3:50 AM EST and a 'STK', mark the order with a TimeInForce of 'OVERNIGHT' in the Trade Window code behind the scenes. This should properly mark the order for overnight trading for execution at IB. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-07-09 07:15:49
