After struggling to get the right settings for Autotrade, have been monitoring what is the process flow and events that take place to get comfortable with this new piece of technology. Here is what I discovered that **may** be an issue for Nirvana to address immediately. 1. The Autotrader runs the ToDo list at 5AM every morning. 2. I have "New" signal selected so the trades should happen at MOO 3. After the ToDo list is done, it displays the NEW trades to be initiated, with the respective share amounts and strategy in the AT, ATShrs, ATStrategy column. I an see these orders in the OPEN ORDERS tab of the PORTFOLIO window. 4. The NEXT day 5AM, when the ToDo list completes, it appropriately puts the NEW orders in FL and I can see the DAY BEFORE's NEW orders in the OPEN POSITION tab of the PORTFOLIO Window. 5. HOWEVER - Any trades that the Autotrader had from before that NEED TO EXIT at MOO DO NOT SHOW UP IN THE OPEN ORDERS Tab. They just are CLOSED and can be seen in the ORDER HISTORY AND POSITION HISTORY tabs 6. I found a few and when I look at the ORDER HISTORY TAB _ do see them there as "Sell" and "Executed" on the PRIOR Day.... I guess the summary of the issue is that when the ToDO list is run and it generates NEW orders - IT SHOULD ALSO GENERATE EXIT orders and POST THEM IN THE OPEN ORDERS to be executed at MOO of the appropriate day I would be interested to hear from other users who may be testing the AutoTrade if they have seen a similar behavior. Are there any other settings in AutoTrade to ENABLE these EXIT orders to show up in the OPEN ORDERS Tab? Thanx [Edited by market_student on 3/8/2018 6:34 AM] | |
