Most of those are about the settings and you probably found that in the ATM manual, but they are worth a look. As for connecting to IB (I use GXT which is a brand over IB), I connect my active profile to GXT using the dropdown broker box in OT. I suspect this is how you'd do it for IB when you want to trade directly out of OT against your IB account. So, nothing special - just connect to your broker in OT. You then activate AT. The most critical setting I've found is the Tradeplan to set it to (Strategy) if you want the TP of the strategy to be in effect. Done. AT will now run per your settings in AutoTrade Settings. It will deactivate your ability to access strategies, the To Do List and other settings that you wouldn't want to change while AT is active. But you can connect and disconnect from your broker (just be aware that when AT runs, it will trade against the broker you have active). You can bring up your Portfolio for the active broker just like you could previously and you can still place other trades not governed by AT if you'd like. |
