can not enable auto trade MC 5 beta 2

Postby Tommy Ma » 19 Dec 2008

Hi,

I can not enable auto trading and MC would not place live trades with my IB TWS. My understanding is that there should be a check box in the autotrading tab for enabling/disabling autotrading. I do not see this check box. In previous MC versions, I do have this check box to manually enable/disable autotrading. What needs to be done to get my MC to autotrade?



Thanks,

On top left corner of chart screen you will have an icon SA or AA depending on what execution method you have choosen. Clicking this will automate your strategy, it truns green from greyed when automation is enabled.

Attached image for guidance.
