For AutoTrading to a broker, you'll need to set up your email under Tools/Options.


Done and it works

I can help you set up your AutoTrade settings, but I need to know if you're running an EOD or RT profile.


Right now EOD but plan to switch to daily bars in a RT profile, so both I guess

Are you using an ATM method & is it one of the canned methods released (MicroStates, Universal, ATM Macro & Micro)?


ATM Micro and Micro with customized strats

Are you trading stocks?


yes

If EOD, what time of day do you prefer to run analysis & what time would you prefer to submit your orders?


Run in the AM and submit before open - I have the times set in AT

Are you going to leave OT connected 24/7, do you plan to use it while it's set to AutoTrade, or will you AutoTrade during certain times & use it other times outside AutoTrade hours?


connected 24/7 using IB GW. Worked perfectly in OV with the trade processor

Do all your strategies have trade plans?


yes, no orders blocks and all are set to MOO orders

Are you setting up an IB paper account or live account?


It's a live acct

Oh, one other thing - I am trying to run this in Oracle Virtualbox but it runs much slower than when running straight on the host. I have VB set to use 4 cores and 16GB of memory - the computer has 64GB total - would more memory help? 16 seems like plenty when only running OT. Win 10 BTW

Thx Barry
