Hi
I have successfully setup custom futures for MES and the chart is drawn the way it should. I have populated Symbol Mapping with the current and future symbols. BUT!
When I try to activate automated trading on my live CQG account, it just switches off as soon as I accept the popup. Running the same thing on paper trader works just fine.
Version: MultiCharts64 Version 14.0 Release (Build 24673)
Windows 11 Pro
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8705G CPU @ 3.10GHz, 3096 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
Can someone please help me figure out what is missing for this to work?
Sincerely
Trading Custom Futures @ CQG

Hi Riembaus,
After another attempt to turn auto trading on please check File → New → Order and Position Tracker → Logs tab.
What messages/errors do you see there?

Sorry for not getting back, but I didn't receive a notification for this thread.
It doesn't really show any errors while the signal i running?

Re: Trading Custom Futures @ CQG
Is the custom futures mapped to the front-month contract?
If so, could you please attach a screenshot of your symbol mapping?

Re: Trading Custom Futures @ CQG
Just realized that I did not have "Request continuation for data for the front month contract" ticked. I'll try it and see if that sorts things.
Re: Trading Custom Futures @ CQG
So I ran it it last night and there was a buy signal 2.43 p.m., buy the order never went through,
Here is the log, where nothing shows up. I guess this means that setting the continues contract setting in Broker profiles did nothing.
