Hello, Why would a complex order would work when activated manualy, but when that same order in a trading speadsheet it is not working ? Details : 1. The formulas in the spreadsheet are correct. When using a single contract with a triggered trailing stop limit (with the offset and the trigger programed in the trade window), the auto-trade works, the algo is triggered and the order work. 2. When using 2 contract and adjusting the quantities of stops and target accordingly in the trade window, it works when actioned manualy, but when activating the auto trade it doesn'T work and I get a message logg with an error message. The message says : Trade order error - Trade order Quantity is 1 and this is less than the total of 2 for the attached order. Adjust the order quantities so the parent order s greater or equal to the attach order. ... this does make sense, since my trade order is not 1 but 2, also the order works manualy. Only in auto-trade it doesn't work. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-03-02 03:01:58

The Spreadsheet System for Trading study uses cell J26 to set the quantity, which overrides the Trade Window quantity.

Thanks tomglib, Exactly, I was about to post that I just resolved my issue ... Cell J26 is where we input the contract quantity. ...Learning everyday :) |
