Re: trade one symbol by using data from a different symbol
Hi Angelina,
based on Henry's reply here: posting.php?mode=quote&f=1&p=120907 and from past experience I was under the impression that this wouldn't work due to the instruments having different parameters.
Did this change recently?

Hello,
It's possible to send market orders from e-mini s&p 500 chart to SPY symbol if you configure symbol mapping. If you want to send price orders from auto-trading, you will need to specify the price of SPY in the signal so that the order won't be rejected because of incorrect price. For example, you will need to specify "Buy next bar at 240 limit;" when current SPY price is approximately 238.70 and the order should be accepted.
