Oh shit, i wasn’t aware of this. So you have 2 (or more) different folders for each API instance? I was just opening 2 of the same one and adjusting the preferences

[TrentRothall]

I have been test trading a moc system in the US with one instance of an API while still using it for my ASX mean reversion on another. On two occasions I have had the API not close my US positions with moc orders. I am 95% certain that I set all the preferences correct on the API both times but what I think may have happened is, I set up the API for my US moc system first with one client id, then set up the API for my ASX system with another client ID. I am thinking that the API has taken the preferences from the second setup and changed the ‘close positions with moc orders’ setting.

Is this possible or am I just screwing something up? Has anyone else had this?

[TrentRothall]

Nice, looking good! 40 positions each?

[TrentRothall]

Some thing that might be out of left field and might not work but separating them by price. ie one trades C < 75 the other > 75

[TrentRothall]

Yeah, PLL is, not a good day today for me lol.

[TrentRothall]

Thanks guys, spent yesterday trying to figures out AWS. I thought i’d try them, doing my head in

[TrentRothall]

Julian owes you a pint or two haha

It’s so fast hey, i did 1000 runs on the R1000 in about 20-25 min i think.

Also the new release has a text output in the scan if you haven’t seen, problem solved.

[TrentRothall]

Are most people here using Speedy servers? What else are you using and is it reliable?

[TrentRothall]

Yeh i that was me.

I just produced a basic scan with buy/short price, ranking, shares to buy. Then save it as a .csv –> copy it into a excel template that will adjust it to suit the API format –> copy that to a blank .csv and hopefully upload it

[TrentRothall]

You can change the settings in RT see ‘adjustment’ in the guide Said. How are you going with the CSV Julian. You can print a string in RT i found out

[TrentRothall]

Shit, i just looked at mine. i’ll go from 0 –> 100% in dog stocks, that isn’t going to be ideal (my brain says). eg my top rank is AAR

[TrentRothall]

good to know. Bloody IB and their RegT requirements!

[TrentRothall]

umm not sure actually. you can use the ‘test log’ drop down to give you a good idea of how many setups and why positions were missed during a back test
