Thanks for the TP ... but it did not have a OmniScript condition in it ... there were no conditions for the entry, and there were two canned conditions in step 2: Fixed Loss and a MA Crossover. Both of them were MOO. I thot you said you had an Exit condition C > EMA(5) for a short exit ... does that show up in your TP as an additional condition in Step 2? Maybe the OTT file "dropped it" somehow. ANYWAYS, try this ... if you want an exit on the SAME day, then you have to do one of several things differently: 1. If you can do an EOD download BEFORE the close, for instance at about 3:45pm EST, then OT should apply any exit rules for any active Integrated Brokerage trades, at the Open of the NEXT day, since you are using MOO. If you want the exit applied on the SAME day, then change the MOO exit orders to MOC or to Market, and do that download ahead of time. 2. If you can't do the download early, then the best you can expect is to exit at the open of the NEXT day ... your existing setup is probably waiting one MORE day ... so change the order to Market and see if that solves it. 3. If you own OT Pro, you can use OmniPilot to automate that #1 download, etc ... this does involve some simple "programming" that MattG can help with ... but it does allow things to be done unattended that you would have been able to do manually. 4. If you upgrade to RT feed, you can leave your machine running during the day, tied to your broker via IntegB, and it will be able to exit either at the time the price first crosses the EMA threshold, OR with a MOC order for that same day. MOO orders for the NEXT day, done mid-day are not accepted by some brokers - you need to check on this with your broker. I hope this helps ... if not, there are other things to try ... but please consider these first. If they don't work, then you'll need to provide your complete Strategy and any custom scripts, etc you use, so that I can dup what you're seeing. | |
