I am having problems with this as well. These problems are recent. Just occurred in the last week or so. I have been running a spreadsheet system for trading chartbook for a few years. No problems. Now, it's not recognizing the current position. Position quantity keeps changing to 0. Prior to the problems occurring I used simple buy/sell rules with a limit on position size. First, Sierra stopped recognizing the position size limit. So, I added a parameter that used J5/J8 to determine if there was a position. This helped a bit but now it seems to be changing to 0 all the time. Not sure where to go from here. Another thing that is happening is a new order is generated (if the chartbook requires a position) when my data feed logs off. IB logs off every night, so this is problematic. FYI I am using IB with Sierra and "allow support for Sierra Chart Feeds" set to YES. I am trading QQQ options. Not futures. Thanks for any help. Been a Sierra user for probably around 20 years now. |
