Subject : RE: Tradebots not working

RE: "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."

This post was over 2 1/2 years ago. The tradebots script has not been updated AFAIK in the last two versions of OT, and it seems to still not work.

On wed, 7 aug I left for work with OT/OP set up and ready to go like I always do. I used OP via the RT Trader script (normal - NOT using tradebots script). Everything worked as advertised.

Since I had a quick one night work event and I wanted to try Tradebots again since next week (I will also be away and hoped to continue to use OP/OT to trade) I set up OP to use tradebots on Thur and fri this week.

But the tradebots script failed again

It does not work past the first day (and in this case it failed both days)

On Thur morning I left the house with OT up and running and in the trading profile. omnidata was up and connected, MB trading was connected.

yet looking at my OP log (attached) it acts as if it wasn't connected to MB trading (it was) and then just quit. yet after it says it can't connect to the MB account, it said it was connected. Then at 5:37PM it says the startup and initialization failed. What? It was started, connected and ready to go BEFORE Op was brought up to start trading at 0800:

from my OP log for thur 8 Aug:
"Aug 08, 08:00:00 OmniPilot: StartOT
Aug 08, 08:00:01 Script: Setting up your OmniTrader Environment

Aug 08, 17:37:14 Script: OT Startup and initialization failed!
Aug 08, 17:37:14 Script: Bot 'RT 100' stopped.
Aug 08, 17:37:14 Script: Trading Closed.
Aug 08, 17:37:17 Script: Bot 'RT 100' stopped."

I did not get any emails from OP the entire day - OP just quit on me

Then for today, 9 Aug NOTHING. tradebots didn't even try to engage OP or OT. hen I got home I found OP/trdebots up, OT up and in the correct profile (as I left it the previous morning), MB connected and in the green. But the OP log showed the first entry at 5:12 PM when I manually stopped the tradebot script. NOTHING from 0800 when tradebots was supposed to wake up Op and start its process. So tradebots didn't even attempt to engage Op today:

"Aug 09, 17:12:07 OmniPilot: Stopping OmniPilot Script

Aug 09, 17:12:07 OmniPilot: Waiting for script to stop.
Aug 09, 17:12:07 OmniPilot: Script stopped.

Aug 09, 17:14:07 OmniPilot: Script stopped.
Aug 09, 17:14:07 OmniPilot: ----- Exiting OmniPilot ---"

There was NO OT log nor brokerage log generated from either day. When I shut OT down tonite NO error codes popped up.

As I have posted before, Tradebots do NOT work. PLEASE fix them - the script is a great add-on to OP and potentially allows us to trade even while away from home
