How to enable strategy automation?

Postby jarym » 06 Apr 2015

Hi,

We're testing our SA and are having an issue (AMP with CQG).

Our order was generated (can be seen in 'Orders' tab) but it was rejected. I can see that the instrument is correct (EPM15) but TIF has 'TIF unspecified' and the 'Account' column is empty (when chart trading it always shows our account number) and TIF usually contains "DAY"

In the 'Logs' tab I see this:
"Instrument: @ES; Order: Buy Market 1; Status: Rejected"
"Account is empty!"

I suspect the Automation is not including our account number. How can I resolve this?

Hello jarym,

Please go to Format->Strategy Properties->Auto trading tab->Select broker plugin->select the profile you need->go to Settings->click Lookup and select the account you need.
You need to do that for each chart you are using for auto trading.

Thanks Henry,

When I click on 'Settings' next to select broker plugin I get a screen that looks like this:

'Live' mode is already set but I don't see any 'Lookup' button (and if I click OK then the window just closes.

jarym,

You are looking at the wrong window. Please open the window I have specified:
Format->Strategy Properties->Auto trading tab->Select broker plugin->CQG->Settings->click Lookup and select the account you need.

I feel stupid because I think I have followed your instructions. Here's a bigger image of my screen:

I don't see any lookup button?
