QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Hi everyone!
I'm live-trading my algorithm with IBKR and I'm using limit orders to submit orders during extended hours, for some reason, the orders are submitted but they are not filled. I assumed that this was because I did not enable extended hours trading to be automatically applied to my orders on my IBKR Tradestation so I did but the orders are still not being filled.
Please help.
