Orders are sent live even after having settings as `paper` in ibc_config.ini #6

Hi @antequant Thanks for all the great work. I have found one issue. I have set the trading mode to paper both in ibc_config.ini TradingMode=paper and ENV TRADING_MODE paper in the Dockerfile. However all the orders are given in live mode. Do you have a pointer regarding this?

Thanks in advance!

This isn't something I have tons of experience with, but you must make sure that you're logging in with a paper trading account as well—there are separate credentials for live and paper accounts, so perhaps you are logging in to the live one if you're able to place live orders?

Thanks @jspahrsummers for your reply. You are right, my credentials were not right for logging into paper mode. This was an issue on my end.

Cheers!
