I am trying to get RS Boost set up to trade on Monday. It is Sunday evening and I manually ran all the To-Do items while connected to a GXTrader paper account. The Focus List shows 9 symbols with ATPos indicating an exit. Of course, there are no positions actually open. If I open Port Sim and look at the latest trades, I see 7 trades from Monday 4/12 and also 2 trades not executed listed for 4/16, a Friday (and they are listed twice, the second time with no shares). These symbols match the Focus List 9 trades. Until I can get OT to think these positions are closed, I'll never see the new trades for Monday.
I tried update portfolio, but that does nothing. After all, the portfolio has no active trades in it. Do I have to wait until market hours to do this to make everything happy? If so, then I miss the opportunity to place Monday's trades unless I delay placing until after the open. Any suggestions? |
Depending on your Port Sim test period that looks like a Port Sim bug. But if you run AutoTrade it will give you the trades you're looking for. You can run AutoTrade now if you want & you will get the trades. I know it's after market open though, so the entries will be a little later, but to get AutoTrade to enter them automatically to your Portfolio or broker, you would need to switch the AutoTrade setting from "Forming" to "New". Since it's still Monday that would work, but if anyone does that just remember to switch the AutoTrade signal setting AND the run time back to normal.
