Auto trading question

Postby moses » 18 Jun 2013

Hi,

I am testing auto trading on MC with Interactive Brokers, and I have the following small issue.

I am using 4 different strategies, and I have 4 charts open, 1 for each strategy (signal).

If 2 strategies are in a trade at the same time (say, long the EUR/USD):
a. all 4 charts show the exit points of the 2 strategies in trade
b. all 4 charts show one average entry point, instead of the 2 entry points separately
c. the order and position tracker window shows the total position as one, using the average entry price of the 2 positions opened.


I attach a printscreen of a chart window.

Is there any way to keep these things separated, ie:
a. only the chart with the signal in play to show the entry and exit points
b. the order tracker to show each position opened, separately

Thanks a lot
moses

Hello moses,
If 2 strategies are in a trade at the same time (say, long the EUR/USD):
a. all 4 charts show the exit points of the 2 strategies in trade
b. all 4 charts show one average entry point, instead of the 2 entry points separately
c. the order and position tracker window shows the total position as one, using the average entry price of the 2 positions opened.
That is correct.
Is there any way to keep these things separated, ie:
a. only the chart with the signal in play to show the entry and exit points
There is no prebuilt way to do that. You can program your own active order visualization to do that.
b. the order tracker to show each position opened, separately
There is a net total position at broker for the instrument. It can be seen on Open position tab.
You can see the average entry price for each strategy on the Strategy positions tab.
