What does 2168 (etradeonly not supported) mean on the Interactive Brokers API?
Interactive Brokers lists TWS API warning message code 2168 with the text "Etrade Only Not Supported Warning" (the vendor's wording). The EtradeOnly order attribute is no longer supported. The vendor says this is received with TWS versions 983 and later.
Risk warning: CFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You can lose money on these products, and each provider publishes its own loss figure under FCA rules. You should consider whether you understand how they work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Automated and API trading can amplify losses through bugs, connectivity failures and runaway orders.
How do I fix 2168 (etradeonly not supported)?
Remove the EtradeOnly attribute from the order.
