It's hard to know the source of IB's messages (this is not a Wealth-Lab message), but it looks like you're running multiple strategies that are trading the same instrument in the same account. That's just begging for trouble!

Your @ES-WL strategy had an open Sell At Limit order at the same time that @ES-MAMA-B issued a Buy At Market. Do you see why this is a bad idea?

If you don't want to see precautionary messages from IB as a result of API orders, go into your TWS configuration > API > Precautions and put a checkmark next to the ones you don't want to see.

Yes you are right this is the issue - Multiple strategies for the same Symbol

But.....

I turn on all my strategies this setting!! This should help me, No?

I could see why you'd think that, but no this selection refers to the portfolio managed by this strategy only. Each strategy you run can manage its own portfolio of symbols.
