Subject : Tradebots not working
Posted : 1/29/2011 11:06 PM
Post #17987

I use omnipilot for live RT trading everyday. This means each night I stop and then re-start the RT trader in OP so it will run the following day. This past week I went on a cruise and set-up omnipilot to use the tradebots to run OT and trade everyday for me.

But the tradebots only work for ONE day (the next day) after you set it up then OT does NOT start-up and run after that even though the tradebots are live and running. The same problem happened in both 2011 and 2010.

The week before last I had the tradebots set-up Tue 18 Jan to test it. On wed 19 Jan OT ran normally and traded (and I got the broker reports, trade entry and exit emails like I have it set to do). So I know the RT trader I set up in the tradebot was set up correctly. It was set to run M-F so wed night I left it alone expecting it to trade on thur and fri. This was a test run before I went on my cruise the following week (this week).

On thur 20 Jan I didn't get any emails (broker report set to be sent evey hour). When I got home the RT trader window showed OT opening up, connecting, then shutting down but no trades. I left it alone to fire OT up and trade on Fri. On fri again I got no emails, nothing. Well I went home early and saw that OT was not actually up and running but if you looked at the RT trader event window in OP it looked like it was. I shut it down completely and then fired up the tradebot in 2010 and OT came up and it acted normally. But that was it - OT never fired up and ran after that.

I am attaching logs from wed 19 Jan, thur 20 Jan and fri the 21st. On the 19th you see in the log when OT analyzes each symbol. There are also errors generated and noted, but these errors are not crashing OT. The logs for thur and fri don't have the analyzing part - just errors. OT itself never fires up although it looks like it did if you look at OP. For fri the 21st - you can see how OP gets shutdown at 1329 - that is me when I get home and see that OT is not running. I took a screen-shot of OP and it shows OT in "real mode" like it is running but you can see in the shot it is not.

Then I tried the tradebots in my 2010 version for the next week and it did ERXACTLY the same thing - ran the first day then didn't after that.

Tradebot is broken. It actually only opens up OT the first day after it is set to run but not after that.

also, what is causing the frequent error type like this one:

"Jan 19, 11:41:41 System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Please tell Matt Greenslet about this post

NOTE: The Jan 19 OP log was 4MB so I cut out some useless stuff to make it smaller so I could attach all the logs
