Does auto trade work using a RT profile? If so is there any special settings - different from EOD - that I need to know about? I assume just using a RT profile and setting AT to run at the market open would get it going? IDK

AutoTrade works in realtime, but not with ATM. ATM is EOD only.

Cool but how to run OT w/o ATM. I don't see a way to "turn it off" or select no ATM method? When I try to deselect all methods OT won't let me and I get an error saying you can't turn off the default method (it was basic %equity and no MS, trade ranking, etc). Do you mean just using an ATM method like % of equity with NO market states, trade ranking, etc?

To auto trade w/o ATM is fairly simple.
Open the Auto Trade Menu.

There are two radio buttons titled "Method" and "Trade Size".

To run an ATM method - you must choose "Method" and choose the ATM Method in the drop down menu

To run Auto Trader w/o ATM, choose "Trade Size". Then specify the trade size that OT will use for trading. It will essentially trade the vote line w/o any of the ATM smarts.

You can use the filters in the strategies to make the strategies Market State aware. I'm not sure if DSS would work in Auto Trader however (haven't tried it). That would give you Ranking and L/S balancing if it does work in the Auto Trader.
