Tried to order some UBER and for what seemed like ages (probably a min or two) it was stuck with a message, ‘Processing’. During this time the price soared and I was unable to cancel the order. UBER is very liquid so I’m wondering what would trigger this message; what does it mean exactly?

In my experience it won’t buy through your pie until the price has bounced, better to override it and buy it separately. I’m assuming this was how you did it

No, wasn’t through a pie, just normal mechanism.

It means IBs API is crappy and T212 still haven’t found a solution to resolve these orders so you can actually cancel them. It’s a pain with limit orders but downright scary when it gets stuck with market orders. Especially when you play with penny stocks. @David had mentioned a month ago they ha…

I’ve personally checked your case & I can see that you order was processing for a minute, however, your order was executed at the price of the moment of placing. We’re working on improving this delay which is related to the visual reporting of the order not the execution.

@Martin , thanks; appreciate you looking. [image] Martin: however, your order was executed at the price of the moment of placing I’ve checked ('cos my recall is pants) and my records are at odds with your discovery. The order was placed at 14:36 and filled a minute later, as you said, but th…

@phildawson I wrote a reply to you after reading the linked thread, but lost it. In short, I think the above image shows it’s more than just an execution issue; it’s both that and a UI messaging issue, too. Thanks for pointing to that thread, and I agree with you 100%.

After a second thorough check, there is indeed a discrepancy in the placing & the filling price. Nevertheless, I can assure you that almost all of the orders are processed with this ,fixing’’ in place. Having in mind the enormous volume of the processed orders which is constantly increasing, we’re s…

[image] Martin: fixing’’ ? Thanks @Martin , will keep an eye on. It happened to me earlier. Put in a sell order which was ‘Processing’ for 3 mins. I can’t be sure the price it eventually sold for was affected because the 3rd min candle dipped down into the price I initiated the order on.

This thread doesn’t appear to have answered the original question which as I see orders processing for ages (far longer than a few mins, looking at one currently around an hour) I’d quite like to know. I reloaded the site to confirm it wasn’t a UI issue. What does processing mean? I’d guess it’s …
