The SetExitOnClose is working fine in historical simulations but its not ok if it close some times and some times not i real-world.

Is the solution to sell/buytocover, "next bar at market" at 17:26?

Or, to set Session end time to 17:26?
Even that Exchange is closing 17:27..

Or, have IB some funtion (that I havn't found) that end all active order when Exchange is closing?

To avoid gap/rate, there must be some feature that people often use when daytrade future.. Grateful for all suggestions.

I would take the manual's suggestion and not want to use SetExitOnClose in live trading.


most broker/exchanges recommend you enter your last order at least 3 minutes before closing.

you can try something like this:

Code: Select all

input:
last.order.time(1723);

if time > last.order.time then
begin
sell...
buy to cover...
end;
.

Uses OMXS30 (Swedish index futures). Resolution: 60 change. Use Custom Session (In Session Symbol = Symbol Root couldnt be found).

TJ, Thanks for your answers and experience. I will use it :)
