hi Jamies2Hunt, can you please provide some additional details on the steps to go from importing symbols (csv) to running the strategies? I did: 1. Imported the symbols on the first tab (using TWS csv format) 2. Pressed the Execute Strategy button on the toolbar When I moved to the contract details I see the chart but no orders (pending) is that normal? Also, would it be possible to provide some guidance on your gap tiers criteria? Thanks in advance.
The strategy defined uses the 9:35 bar so you need to import the csv b4 9:30EST and then run strategy it will wait till 9:35 and if the criteria are met will fire orders to TWS IB if filled it will then start managing them. You waant see any action on the chart until 9:30:05 as the setup only trades mkt hours (config settings) If you go to the chart you should see the chart refresh every 5sec if orders are created refresh the order panel and you will see them there.
