Re-send the last stop & limit order in autotrader

Postby ppan » 14 Jun 2009

Although there is an option to tell MC the default position in Auto Trade, I also want the MC has an option to re-send the last stop & limit order.

For example, my system use 1 hour bar chart. If the market start at 9:00, the system will generate a stop order at 10:00 for 10:00-11:00. Then the system will generate another stop order at 11:00 for 11:00-12:00. If I start to auto trade the system at 10:30, the system will not re-send the stop order of 10:00 to IB. Then I have to wait the system to generate the next stop order at 11:00.
I want the MC to re-send the 10:00 stop order to IB if the stop order is not hit when I start the auto trade at 10:30.

ppan,

if you convert your system to work in IOG mode then as soon as you start automation, it will fire your order on the next tick provided your conditions are valid.

IOG systems are not easy/simple to program though.
