IBKR: Trading European stocks to launch Thursday

We’ve marked the TOA and VOT orders as cancelled for you. There was a configuration problem that was allowing orders to be submitted to Warsaw Stock Exchange after the close. If you’re seeing 1,000 shares of each, it’s possible the orders partially filled on IB’s end and that information was not disclosed to Portfolio123 in any way.

Other than TOA and VOT, I’m only seeing fills accounting for 1,074 shares of CAT.B, 619 shares of ATIC, and 16,243 shares of NQSE in our logs. Those quantities match what’s in Manage. If there’s some missing information on the Manage end, the circled quantities will be picked up tomorrow, at which point you will be able to reconcile the differences in your Manage account. (The position reports we rely on for account updates are usually available before the earliest market open in Europe.)

This was indeed fixed. I got the message saying: reconciliation needed and once pressed, it allows to allocate the ‘differences’ to the different strategies. Thank you.

I noticed that EPWN has been acquired recently, but is not flagged as DaysFromMergerAnn=NA.

Experimenting with a work around now, as it is so clear from its stock price development that the company is being acquired.

For SRB:GBR, I got the message that the LSE segment is not supported.

Same message in P123 ‘Manage’:

One solution like others mention is to buy SBI:CAN (or even SRBIF:USA at an other broker), which is the same company but then listed in Canada.

Of course, that would confuse P123’s Manage a bit. Any way around that?

Unfortunately, there is no proper way to hold other issues of a company in Manage. You may use a buy or sell restriction list on the Research side to either avoid it or force it to stay in the strategy.

I think this issue popped up again.

The rebalance function mentions working orders that have been cancelled.

Taken care of. Apologies. The configuration change is not yet in effect. It will go out tomorrow.

It’s been delayed; let’s just say it will be in effect by end of week. Until then, hold off on submitting orders for Polish stocks after 14:50 UTC.

Getting this error when buying ETFs on LSE.

I see this in IBKR:

I've added an override for these contracts so they submit with the proper IB identifier (ConID). Please try again.

I get this now:

We would need to adjust our new order code to support non-equity securities. EIMI and IGLN are CFDs. We omit the security type field in new order messages, so only equities may currently be traded via Portfolio123.

Where did you find they are CFDs?

I was under the impression that they were ETFs: https://www.justetf.com/nl/etf-profile.html?isin=IE00BKM4GZ66#overzicht

I was looking at IB Contract Information Center. I see now that I picked the wrong security and needed to look down the list. I've changed the ConID again. Give it another try tomorrow.

I get this right now:

I did get a reconciliation request, which asked to allocate EIMI:GBR and IGLN:GBR to one of my strategies. So it seems that the holdings from IBKR are picked up by Portfolio123.

But placing an order is still an issue for me (below):

I'm currently waiting for a reply from IB regarding these contracts.

A session setting has been changed to support trading these contracts. The change will go into effect Monday.

Most of the trades went through successfully today but one transaction.

It looks like IB doesn't have Ekter.
