Last night I went to shut down the TP and saw a new dialog box (AFAIK). "The Trade Processor will submit enabled orders immediately if restarted within the configured trading hours." I checked the settings dialogs and didn't see any new controls wrt this behavior. So what I think this means is that I can shut down TP without fear of any order processing occurring immediately. But I should be aware that if I restart TP during the order submission window, pending (active) orders will be immediately placed without user confirmation. So if I anticipate restarting during order submission hours, and think I might not want orders immediately placed, I might want to disable all pending orders before quitting TP (???). Correct? (I typically shut down TP and IBG on Friday afternoon so I can run windows update, java update, and avoid the IB shutdowns the happen Friday night. Then I restart TP/IBG Sunday evening, outside the order submission window. So I don't think any of this applies to me...) Thanks Keith | |
