Batchtrader ‘Unack’ trade order

[SaidBitar]

one observation
i had two orders one for INTC and CSCO so i placed them with ISLAND as per the snippet up so they were placed with the API.
the orders were live which is good but when the time hit to cancel all the orders these two orders were not cancelled so i had to cancel them manually

[JulianCohen]

Did you tell Levente?

[SaidBitar]

No i did not

i beleive the problem i didnot add ,ISLAND=22:40 to the api

so today i added it and i will see if it will be cancelled

[SaidBitar]

so it was my mistake

tonight all are cancelled on time

Just as well I tested it. It didn’t work and immediately sold the position! Because I just remembered I should have added Island to the dialog box that sets the time for executing the MOC:

SMART=05:40,ISLAND=05:40,ASX=15:45

So it filled the order as a market order. I’ll test it again tomorrow alongside the live trading which Daryl has helpfully shown me how to use properly.

Next 10,000 trades!

Aren’t these the times for someone trading from Oz Julian ?

[JulianCohen]

Yes Scott. I set it that way as I am traveling a lot so I keep my Windows machine on Oz time. That way I have a constant. I am in Sydney for four months a year but live in Singapore the rest of the time

Thanks Julian.

Has anyone had orders marked as ‘rejected’ by BatchTrader before?

[SaidBitar]

yes recently many
the reason is they need to be with 5 cents increments
