Randy, Not sure I understand what you are needing? Can you explain a little more in detail on what you mean on patch? | |||

The problem I'm trying to solve is the manual GXTrader login step required for the GXTrader broker. I want to let OP handle the login without user interaction. Something similar to but not exactly like the 'Automated TWS Login' script Matt built to automate the IB login. This would only need to set focus on the GXTrader login screen and feed the username and password. It would not need to launch a secondary application as a TWS login needed. See this thread for reference: http://www.omnitrader.com/omnitrader/proforum/thread-view.asp?threadid=1140&posts=39 | |||

I finally got some time to work on a modGXT script but it appears an OP Script will probably not work to resolve this issue. The login prompt occurs prior to the return of StartOT function which is not public. Let me know if anyone finds a resolution resolve the login screen. Thanks, Randy | |||

Success! I was able to create an external vbs script and feed the username and password from the module Matt created to start the TWS program. Common.txt was modified in the SetupOT function to add the call to LoadGXT as shown below: '---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ' Name: SetupOT ' Purpose: Setup OT to use the specified profile, list, strategy, timeframe, etc. ' Arguments: oBot Script parameters ' Returns: Whether everything was successful Friend Function SetupOT(oBot As Script.TradeBotParams) As Boolean Dim sFileName As String If oBot.BrokerName = "GXTrader" Then LogAction("Loading the GXTrader_Login script", enuLogImportance.enuInformation) ' Log action Call LoadGXT ' Load the GXTrader Login script End If LogAction("Setting up your OmniTrader Environment", enuLogImportance.enuInformation) ' Log action StartOT() ' Start OT I've attached the modGXT.txt and GXTrader_Login.vbs file Enjoy - of course no warranty but I will try to answer any questions.

GX trader is supposed to be more integrated into OT. Better than MB or IB. I use MB now and it auto-logs on everytime. I am considering switching to GX but if it isn't integrated well that is a huge issue Nirvana - what is the status here? Is GX fully integrated? my understanding is one big advantage of GX is that Nirvana controls the software/integration. This doesn't jive GX users - can you use OP seamlessly with GX or not? | |||

Buffalo, This is not an "official" code release by Nirvana Systems, however, I have tested and it does work. As with any code on the forum you must use at your discretion. | |||

So when is Nirvana going to have an "official" code for OP to work with GXTrader? | |||

Ryan Nothing was attached to your message The GX login should be PART of OP not an additional script. Like the "start OT" window - how about a "login GX" window? There are enough issues getting OP and OT in synch and working with MB trading and it logs in smoothly in OT. Adding another seperate script is just one more opportunity for the OP/OT/GX integration to fail. Fail means I don't trade = losing real money OR it means my open positions don't get their stops updated which also = losing real money. I anticipate that OT is moving away from OP and towards an integrated solution, especially since you own GX. Until that happenes us mechanical OP traders still need nirvana built and supported solutions to make the current set up work [Edited by Buffalo on 10/18/2011 10:20 AM] | |||

Our relationship with Transcend is still very new, & we need to make sure that this level of automated trading is tested thoroughly & working extremely well. But it's something we want to do, & we'll get there. |
