Subject : Autotrade set up
Posted : 5/11/2018 12:35 AM
Post #44653

I can't find a simple, complete, how-to on configuring and using autotrade. There is some info in the ATM manual, but it's not complete. Nothing in the OT manual, and no AT specific manual I have. I am using IB.

Do I need OT to connect to the brokerage (like with omnipilot) for AT to work? Do I just turn on AT (with IB TWS or IB GW on and connected)? If I run and connect IB gateway or IB TWS and test the brokerage connection in OT it fails - saying I need to have TWS connected! The OT brokerage settings have the UN and PW sections greyed out - is that correct? AT turns on but how do I know it's connected to IB? OT shows "paper" in the brokerage acct window, and if I select my IB acct it won't connect (as I mentioned) - so is showing "paper" an issue for actual trading?
