Fetch open orders and holdings directly from Interactive Brokers. Any holdings that are present in the brokerage account but missing in the QuantConnect because those trades were place outside QuantConnect. I am trying to use below methods for getting all open orders from IB but I get this log “Brokerage connection not available. Cannot fetch IB orders.”. Below is my implementaiton for fetching the orders which were placed outside QC
def fetch_ib_order_details(self):
brokerage = getattr(self, "Brokerage", None)
if brokerage is None:
self.Debug("Brokerage connection not available. Cannot fetch IB orders.")
return
# --- Retrieve open orders ---
try:
orders = brokerage.GetOpenOrders()
except Exception as e:
self.Debug(f"Failed to retrieve open orders from brokerage: {str(e)}")
orders = []

Key points in this version:
self.brokerage(notself.Brokerage), which is the QuantConnect live brokerage instance.get_open_orders()andget_account_holdings()methods (not PascalCase).self.live_modeand logs/returns if running in backtest.This should help Dharmesh reliably and cleanly fetch IB status and detect outside orders when running live with Interactive Brokers on QuantConnect.
