Auto-trading turns off overnight

Postby jl12 » 19 Jan 2012

I turn auto-trading to IB on at 00:15 am GMT, however by 7:00 am it has turned off.

This is happening on a new PC so I assume it is a settings issue, any idea as to where the problem might be.

Hello Jl12.
Auto trading can turn off if the broker profile connection was lost or there were too much rejected orders.
Please go to File -> New -> Order and position tracker window -> Logs tab.
What messages do you have? Are there any error messages?

Make sure your Internet connection has no issues.
You can increase "auto trading turning off on the connection loss timeout" in:
MultiCharts->File->Broker profiles->Manage->IB->Edit.
