Futures regular trading hours
Posted on February 4, 2008
Tags: Futures, Day Trading |
I’m doing some testing of futures trading in a simulated account and I now have a short position in the ER2 which I forgot to close before 4:15. Does anyone know how I can transmit an outside regular trading hours order in IB to close this? The Order Ticket’s option for outside regular hours is grayed out.
I think this is one of those rare cases where I don’t wish it was a real order in my live account despite it showing a decent profit :-) I’d be frenetically calling IB to get out.
EDIT: Problem solved, it has to be a Limit order instead of a market order.
