I think that is how the paper portfolio works. I also believe that with the paper portfolio, MOO and Market are the same. Since OT doesn't have intraday data, it will always treat the trade as though it were executed at the open price. A MOC will use the close price, but that's all you have. High and Low would be used with stops and limits. Do you have the "Update Portfolio" checked in AutoTrade? When working with the paper portfolio, you might need that checked to apply some of the updates. The Nirvana team recommends turning this off for live trading because it could cause an order to be submitted that you don't intend. One other thought -- and I haven't tried it myself with ATM -- try Lab Mode and step through the days. You can continue the lab session each day and step forward into the new day. If you are using historical data, it treats each day as a new day and runs the analysis, presents the orders, places the trades. You still have to inspect the portfolio to see what exited (and the position history tab helps you with that). But it gives you a way to step forward. Maybe that's not your goal. When you do switch to a live broker, the exit orders that you don't see do show up at your broker. I know this for a fact since I'm running live with GXT and AT with ATM. There are still a few bugs where some orders don't get placed and I need to manually submit them, but Nirvana has fixes going in for those. | |
