Sorry for this trivial question, but i can not figure out where the documentation for this is, or i am just not understanding. I want to use my acsil code to automatically trade. I have all that taken care of, but i just do not know how to "start" it. I usually just to Trade -> autotrade system backtest. But where do i go to trade live? I have unchecked trade simulation mode on and changed the code to sendOrderToExchange (or whatever the specific function is) to true. So in short, how to i press the "play" button. Thanks! |

Beyond what is explained here, there is nothing more that needs to be done: Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study: Going from Simulation Mode to Live Trading There is no start or play function for this .

Okay, so assuming i have the proper coding done. Do i just need to go to the chart i want to trade from and build the code? and then if all the other settings are set, It will trade live when the criteria in the code that i just build is met on the chart in which i built the code on?

You only need to build the code if this is not already done. It will trade live when the criteria in the code that i just build is met on the chart in which i built the code on? Yes the automated trading system will work on any chart it is added to.

Okay, I am still having problems getting it to trade live. I have done the following: Under the trade toolbar- Unchecked Trade simulation mode check autotrading enabled I followed the instruction on connecting SC to my IB account. I know it is connected because i can press the buy,sell, flatten, ect buttons on the trade window and i get notifications from IB about the orders. The code i am using is the skeleton function of the first function (scsf_TradingExample(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc) in the tradyingsystem.cpp code you supply. I have change sc.SendOrdersToTradeService = false to true. Furthermore, when i simulated this code i get the trades that i would expect to get. So i believe the code logic is correct. I just do not know why no orders are being place? Also, I am saving the code and then going to analysis -> build custom Dll studies and hitting the build custom DLL button. There are no errors. Please help |
