After months working hard to get my strategy ready to go on NT (backtesting, adjusting, programming, studying, etc,etc,etc), I am getting the point that: it is not possible to run any strategy for real with NT, unless you are a paper trader (as I used to be while testing) or a day trader. If a strategy sleeps positioned, like mine, there is no set of NT configurations (sync TRUE, set to "wait until flat..", etc,etc) to make NT strategy perfectly syncronized with my broker account - IB, and so, everyday I have an unexpected order closing my position (not supported by my strategy) which brings me losses.
But, as an answer to my problem I have to use an extra official IB gateway, not supported by NT, which will bring me problems any way, since I have to turn off NT from time to time to clean chache, etc..and my daily problem, will become a weekly problem, at best.
My question here would be: Am I wrong? Does anybody trade with NT carrying positions?
How does it work?
I ve been trying if (historical) return; and SYNC TRUE, toset "wait until flat ..." with SYNC TRUE, etc..
But I ve been had hard times.
