New autotrading bug ?

Postby danilo » 10 Jun 2008

I have installed the patch to donwload historical data from expired futures, the patch is working fine, but now the autotrading engine is not working, I receive a message like : "Error validating request:-'qb' : cause - Please enter a local symbol or an expiry" (Error)".
I have attached the MC logs.

regards,
Danilo

hello, this can happen sometime, you just need to right click your strategy from the chart, then go to Properties, and manually input the expiry date for the symbol, then i will work fine without the error msg.

Danilo,

Please go to the symbol dictionary and make sure that all the parameters for the symbol have been entered correctly.

Regards.

Hi Marina,

the problem has been solved, I had to remove and then re-add the symbol in the dictionary for some reason was missing but after having re-added the symbol all the parameters has been properly set.

Danilo

hi, Danilo,

How did you collect the "TradingServer" log?
where is the location?

Autotrading cannot work for me.
1) the buy/sell signal cannot be triggered just as in chart
2) position is TWS cannot be retrieved
3) autotrade mode will be end without control.
