None-of-my-strategies-in-IBKR-will-buy

"Not buying" seems like an easy one to fix if you can show us your strategy code. If it's blocks, just export to C# code, copy, and paste it here between CODE tags.

Re: KDNY.cvs
I don't know what to make of that one. I'm not familiar with that kind of instrument, and it sounds like the code doesn't like what it doesn't expect. What asset class is that? I can't find that .cvs ticker in IB TWS.

TRY THIS - in TWS, if you have a ticker for KDNY.csv on a quotes page (try the Portfolio page), double click it, copy and paste that image with the details.

Re: tons of connection and exception logs YELLOW
It would help to have the details of some of these.. especially if it mentions KDNY.csv.

This is knife juggler, basically. When I set it up, back tested, and reconfigured, and placed in the strategy monitor. I activated and set it up to place. It threw a signal, and then never bought

I have another one, for tqqq, you can peak at that in my profile account, but i promised my buddy not to put it public.

I'll also try your kdny.cvs instructions and I'll send you a link to the deal they made when buying chinook....I am still maybe at a third grade level here, so I may not be doing this KDNY thing justice......

KDNY.cvr OMG - type-o.

The sale has occurred. The stocks have been paid out. And the remaining stock ticker changed to KDNY.cvr with .39 cents. I'm afraid if I delete it, it will not pay me my extra fun "shoes" account. Another $4.00 per share is $320? Why not take it. I only had 80 shares. I bought some at 10 or 11 bucks a few years ago through robinhood. and then I watched a steady increase, so i bought more. Some I bought at 10$ per share and I paid as high as $37.00 per share. In the end, I had 80 share, they paid cash of $40.00 per share.

Under the transactions section, it reads:

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Novartis will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Chinook through a subsidiary for a price of $40 per share in cash at closing. The CVRs to be issued to Chinook shareholders will provide for payments of up to an additional $4 per share with respect to specific regulatory approvals for atrasentan, $2 of which is related to IgA nephropathy and $2 of which is related to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. The closing of the proposed transaction is subject to certain conditions, including approval by Chinook’s stockholders, the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and other customary conditions. A copy of the merger agreement will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and will be publicly available.

The yellow warnings just indicate that there is no tradable contract for that symbol. Just ignore those because you're going to have to live with that for the time being.

You posted a partial image of the Accounts tool. I thought you said you get "kicked out of wealth lab". I thought "kicked out" meant "crash", but now I'm confused to what that means exactly.

Re: Knife Juggler
Limit order strategies won't buy unless the limit price is hit. Luckily, I made a very detailed video about how to trade dip buyers and even used the Knife Juggler as the example. Grab a beer, sit back, relax and watch this -
