Subject : RE: Interactive Brokers Trading Records in OT Pro

Jim, Thank you so much for the response. I read all of your posts, and appreciate any time you might have.

When trading with OT Pro, using IB, with the TWS broker software running, or for that matter, IB Gateway, when I use RTX3 for trading, with trades completed, sent by OT to the IB broker for execution, the trades are properly executed by IB, but the historical list of trades, which are designed to be recorded and listed in the portfolio tab of OT, will not be shown. When I attempt to access the "Portfolio", properly referenced to the correct trade account in Account settings, virtually nothing shows. Notta. Nothing. When the Portfolio Icon on the Tool Bar in OT Pro is accessed, again, nothing. To get any listed records of trading completed by and through the OT Pro, you must go to the IB TWS software, and review trade records provided by the brokerage.

These trade records are NOT records of trades completed through direct placement in the IB software, which I have not completed. All of my 100 or so trades yesterday, all autotraded, completed by OT Pro, using OmniPilot, are not listed, or otherwise available for review, except by going to IB TWS, and reviewing the trades with their software.

Unless I am not configuring software correctly, this limitation is considerable for active trading.

Is anyone aware of a way to configure OT Pro, where so called "virtual" program generated trades triggered by OT Pro strategies in an active profile will show in the Portfolio section of OT Pro, as it to my understanding, is the way the software is designed?

In case I am not being clear, none of my trades were executed by me directly through the IB software; all were initiated through OT Pro.

My best regards,

Tom
