9/28/07 - Pre-Release 4K
The following issues have been addressed in Pre-Release 4K:
Note: Updated OmniPilot Scripts for Pre Release 4k
OmniPilot Specific Fixes:
There have been a number of changes made to the standard OmniPilot scripts. Many of these changes are related to allocation calculations. The changes impact RT_Trader, EOD_Trader, WF_Trader and Demo. Users that base their own scripts on Common.txt and UserInterface.txt will be affected by these changes as well. All the described changes are for the “Manual Allocation” method specified under the Account Tab.
9/27/07 - Pre-Release 4J
The following issues have been addressed in Pre-Release 4J:
General Bug Fixes:
- Date advance now only advances 1 bar not 1 week per click.
- .NET errors when running Portfolio Simulator on a specific portfolio.
- Fixed tool bar loading issue when OT was minimized on start up.
- Updated the London Exchange start time. Changed from 8:30AM to 8:00AM
- Support for eSignal 10 is now added.
OmniPilot Specific Fixes:
There have been a number of changes made to the standard OmniPilot scripts. Many of these changes are related to allocation calculations. The changes impact RT_Trader, EOD_Trader, WF_Trader and Demo. Users that base their own scripts on Common.txt and UserInterface.txt will be affected by these changes as well. All the described changes are for the “Manual Allocation” method specified under the Account Tab.
Equities Trading:
- Added the ability to specify the Maximum Leverage to use
For Manual Allocation Method, added a text box to the Account tab to specify the Max Leverage to use in allocation calculations. Previously the leverage was not specified and the scripts used the value returned from the connection with the broker. Being able to specify the Maximum Leverage to use gives the user more control to over ride the broker’s maximum leverage. - Changed calculations for Buying Power For Manual Allocation Method
Previously, the OmniPilot scripts used the Buying Power returned from the connection with the broker. This information was not always correct and the user had no control of the amount of leverage to use. For equities, the scripts now calculate the remaining buying power based on the user specified maximum leverage (see #1) and the value of existing open positions with the broker.
Futures Trading:
- Added Table for Futures Margin for Manual Allocation Method
New allocation calculation method for Futures. Added a new button under the Accounts Tab to bring up an editable table of commodities and margin prices. When trading Futures, the scripts will use the default maximum size for trading if possible. If there is not enough account equity, the scripts will attempt to trade a smaller number of contracts. The margin per contract field is the amount the user wants to allocate per contract for the commodity. The user may want to specify a larger value for the allocation as a way to reduce the risk compared to the broker’s minimum margin required value. There must be an entry in this table for any futures symbol traded in OmniPilot. FOREX follows the same allocation rules as Equities - Changed calculations for Buying Power for Manual Allocation Method
The method the scripts use to calculate Buying Power for Futures has also changed. For Futures, the values specified for margin per contract in the Futures Margin table should incorporate the desired leverage to use. The scripts will now determine if another position can be taken based on the value of the existing open positions with the broker, the remaining account equity, the specified margin per contract, and the default maximum size. If there is not enough account equity, the scripts will attempt to trade a smaller number of contracts.
General Changes:
- Reserve Percent of Equity for Manual Allocation Method
New functionality under the Account Tab for Manual Allocation. Added the option to reserve a percentage of the account equity before allocating trades. This allows the user to allocate trades for less than the total account equity. - EOD_Trader - Removed initial shutdown of OT prior to running the ToDo List
EOD_Trader no longer shuts down OmniTrader prior to running the ToDo List. Previously the shutdown was required to prevent synchronization issues that have since been corrected. - Removed Custom Timers for Reconnect
New timer functions were added to OmniPilot. Custom timers in the standard scripts are no longer required to handle the Broker disconnect, reconnect actions.
General Enhancements:
- Improved Broker connection management if brokerage disconnects or connects with errors. OT will prompt to reconnect.
- Updated Crystal Reports version.
- Support for IQFeed has been improved to eliminate connection issue.

This setting will affect Stop Market, Limit and Stop Limit orders. This functionality is intended for EOD profiles.
