I have a system that will trigger a stop with InteractiveBrokers at the end of the 4:00 bar (eod). I can't get IB to accept that order and have it carry through to the morning. I have the setting for accepting after hour orders checked (I think). Any help would be appreciated.
Rename
Any order submitted on the final bar should go into WL8's Order Manager in "Final Order" status. Leave the Order Manager open, and WL8 will submit it to the broker 15 minutes after the close. It's even configurable for the IB Broker extension.
Ahhhhh. Thank you.
Seeing the setting now. Do I need to use IB as the live data feed? I'm using DTN/IQ. Or does that not matter?
Does not matter. Orders generated on the closing bar will be held with "Final Order" status and Placed with the broker after the n-Minute delay.
QUOTE:You should not check the Trading Preference to Enable Pre/Post trading.

This should be unchecked? If so how will the order be accepted?
It will be accepted the same way as it would if you placed it manually, accepted for the NEXT REGULAR SESSION at market open.
Bingo..Got it.
I have another issue I'm working on and may have another question for you tomorrow :)
Thank you.

That's an IB preference page. You can set that one however you like.
I'm talking about WealthLab's Trading Preference. If "Pre/Post" is enabled, WealthLab will mark Stop and Limit orders to execute in the Pre/Post market. You don't want that to happen, so disable this as shown:
