[Portfolio trader] 2nd reversal trade not executing?
Posted: Aug 30 2018
hi support team,
i have updated to the latest release 12 but the issue did happen in the previous versions, at least once.
i am used to auto trade NQ futures using Portfolio trader. It happened that the signal sent orders like this:
1. Buy - this trade loss, my signal stopped it successfully and made a reversal to Sell
2. Sell - as mentioned in 1, this trade also loss, my signal should stopped it and reversal again to Buy (but nothing done, i needed to close position manually)
3. Buy - as mentioned in 2, this reversal trade signal didn't happened, the previous trade wasn't closed. And i don't know where to check if it is the problem in MC when sending orders. Checking in IB, it seems that there was no such order received.
interestingly, when i run backtest, the 3rd trade mentioned above occurred as expected.
this situation occurred last night and another time in around Jul when i was using MC11.
is there some setting i have missed? what is "optimize order flow" function? does it related to the issue?
Could you help & give me insight what to check this issue about?
Thanks in advance.
