Subject : RE: Why didn't OP enter trade today?

Well Today OP/OT/IB didn't enter any trades AGAIN. When I left for work TWS was up and logged in, OP was running EOD script, plenty of $$ available in the acct, internet is connected, on a stable, clean Win XP sp3 machine. At 9:15 I get an email from OP (as it's set-up to do) that two signals are ready for "batch submission" but they never get into IB. At 9:45 I get the same email, again, that orders are ready for batch submission. Ready for what? Nothing is being done with them! They are MARKET orders - submit them, even after the open, and they get filled.

That was on one computer - the win XP machine connected to IB.

None of my orders on my Win7x64 machine (connected to MB) went in either. This morning when I got up on the brand new win7 machine I saw that OT had CRASHED again overnight. Everyday OT crashes for no apparent reason. Overnight OT was Not doing anything - not strat wizard, not training a CB/NN, not running To-Do, just on waiting to do what I really want it to do - TRADE STOCKS. But no, it crashes for no reason I can tell (it crashes EVERYDAY like this). See attached. The crash does not generate anything in the OT log so how do I diagnose it? OT2010 PR3K. So I close OT, clean out the .ldb files, and restart OT. Hope that it can last through the day to enter my trades AND MONITOR MY STOPS on exiting trades (ummm, kinda important)

At 7:30 AM I left for work and OT was up and connected to MB. OP EOD was running. Several trades should've been entered today. But nothing happened, no emails from OP (??), no trades entered with MB, nothing. Did OT crash agin? Why didn't OP send me an email?

2 machines, 2 failures - and this is happeneing every day. Some error, something, happens and OT/OP/IB FAILS again and again.

I have been working with OT for several years now. I consider myself well above average in the usage, maintenence, set-up, etc, of OT (and computers/networks in general). But I cannot get 2 computers/OT/OP/IB setups to reliably work.

yea I'm getting frustrated. VERY FRUSTRATED. We get offers to spend more money on GT3 or T-3 or the new options suite. The Nirvana programmers/QA are busy with these new projects. Meanwhile me and several others are spending major hours trying to get the OP/OT/IB thing to work - basically doing nirvana's QA job - and finding lots of issues in the whole IB/OP integration. That is not what I expected, especially with OT 2010. By now the whole OP/OT/IB thing should work. Just work, especially the EOD script. But it appears that OP/IB hasn't really been looked at or robusted since it came out.

Did you know that Nirvana tests the OP/IB/OT interface via the paper brokerage only and not the real brokerage? This is not good - there are big differences with MB trading and IB in their paper accts vs their real brokerage. Differences in EOD vs RT. These need QA testing! Just trade 1 share at a time in multiple timeframes (1 min, 15 min, daily, EOD), use both brokers, use both win XP and win7 machines.

Here is what I am asking - How about getting OT/OP/IB stable and robust enough to WORK AS ADVERTISED?
