Sounds good, Bill. This set up isn't going to work in a realtime profile though, since we have not activated that capability with ATM yet. So with the email & broker connection, you're mostly set up. The only thing really is your AT settings.

After it's connected to IB, set your Auto Trade up like this.



Change the Max Percent Equity & the start time to whatever you need. The time should be set to your machine's time that you want the ToDo List to run, so give it enough time to run so that it can complete & submit the orders before market open.

There's also a couple things to note with trade sizing that I would recommend. In Portfolio Simulation Settings, under Account Settings, change the use leverage setting to Increase Number of Trades if you are using anything besides 100% for the AutoTrade Max Equity Percent. Also, under Trading Parameters, add a Min Allocation of 10%, so that it doesn't take small trade sizes.
