EFS OK but Automated paper trade comms prob?

[spamula]

Top man Brad automated this efs strategy directly to e-signal paper trade for me.

The EFS seems fine but sometimes trading just stops and new postions are not registering when the EMA's cross. Strange, it will work ok for 20 minutes and then just stop working.

I think its the comms with the paper trade, what preferences should I use for automated paper trading. Did anyone else have probs with esignal feeds this afternoon? I'm using a good broadband connection.


Thanks for all help given

Help.....

Spam,

You should have the following settings in the PAPER TRADER PREFERENCES window.

Default Order Type : Market
Default Lot Size : 100 (or anything you want)
Rapid Cancel : UNCHECKED
Rapid Close : UNCHECKED
Confirm User Entered Trades : UNCHECKED
Confirm EFS Generated Trades : UNCHECKED

Other than that, it should work fine for any market. Let me make one other change in the code for you. I'll post it here (this thread).

Here you go...

I had to add the following to the "execution code" ...

if (getCurrentBarIndex() == 0) {
.. allow trade executions...
}

This prevents the system from trying to execute on PAST SIGNALS.

Try this and let me know if you run into any other problems.
