Does anyone have a sample strategy for realtime use using the generic broker function

[demarcog]

If anyone has a sample strategy that is using the generic or actual broker functions I would appreciate taking a look.

I have several strategies that behave properly using the strategy object (backtester). But when I modify the code and replace the strategy calls with the generic broker functions (which seems rather straight forward) I'm getting all sorts of errors:

hundreds of orders when the strategy is loaded
duplicate trades

Thanks

Hello demarcog,

To resolve the problem of trades being sent while the formula is loading or reloading you may want to take a look at the IB.efs example at the bottom of this article. This formula draws a button on the chart that requires the user to right-click on the "Disabled" label to enable real-time trades. See the logic used for the vEnable flag.

Jason,

Thanks for the infomation. I will incorporate the code into my strategy and keep my fingers crossed. Lately the most seemingly benign change I make to any strategy seems to backfire... starting to rattle my already shaky EFS coding confidence level..

Thanks again
