MB Tranding Autotrade Problem

Postby Roumeau » 17 Feb 2011

Hi everyone!

I'm testing the autotrade with MBT and in order to run a live system, I'm doing some "stress tests".

I'm running a one minute fx demo system in order to see the good execution of the orders.

I've got a problem:

each day, near 23:00 (Paris Time), at the end of then conventional forex end session (10 PM GMT) during 10 minutes, all my orders are rejected.

Are there any MBT users who experienced this problem?

ok thank you; this is a real problem for me because I trade like that:

Buy ( "" ) LotSize contract next bar at market ;

MB Trading has: quoteserver and orderserver.

At the end of the daily bar, the quote server is ok, so my signal is ok and send to the strategy a market buy order for ex., but the the order server is off and so my order is rejected.... :-(

What can I do, all my strateges are based on daily bars and I can't make an autotrade due to this rollover time...

Any ideas members?

Thank u all.

2 Timeframes in your Code:
Data1 = M1 = Ordersignal at 5:10 pm EST
Data2 = D1

Thank you Henrik, I imagined this solution but how do you code that?

for data1:

if currentime = 0510 then
Buy ( "" ) LotSize contract next bar at market ;

??

Excuse me for my lack of knowledge but I'm not very easy with "time" things...

...or is there a solution to make an order at a specified time??

like:

Buy ( "" ) LotSize contract next bar at 0510;
