This set up isn't going to work in a realtime profile though, since we have not activated that capability with ATM yet.


Barry - I am sure you've seen the ATM results using MOC orders instead of MOO (and adding inactivity stops), reusing intra-day $ for new positions.

I'm wondering how that would be set up in OT to work (get the port sim result we see in OT)? can it work in an EOD profile OR does it require a RT profile using daily bars? Is there any different settings in OT required for the MOC orders to work?

When will ATM be ready for RT profiles (daily bars) - this new ATM2 update coming out?

Change the Max Percent Equity ...to whatever you need.


yes I set it to 195% (leave some buffer to avoid a margin call) and in Port Sim I have checked to use the extra margin $ to increase trade size not increase number or trades. Anything else? Below you specify to increase number of trades - I think that was a mis-speak and you meant select whichever you want, but know what you selected - correct?

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.


Oh, and in the AT settings we do NOT have to check "close positions on exit signal" correct? I assume because the TP in each strategy is controlling that?

really interested in having the MOC version up and running so anything you can tell me about that, even if it's we have to wait for ATM in RT profiles, is helpful

Thanks!
