I haven't taken a trade since 11-ish eastern time. However, I'm very pleased to announce that that Robo-NoD went long @ 74.60 and trailed a stop to exit @ 75.19, kind of like a REAL trader
sim -.05 (didn't get filled at .15) :03 add .91 be .98 target: .40-ish; looking to add a third unit :04 stop trailed to [Edit: .60, but filled at] .61 and stopped out @ +37 ticks (avg) x 2 cars Missed what would have been the first entry at .15 (touched, but not filled) and couldn't find a nice place to enter the third unit. Edit: thanks for the link, Kid (Edit: and for your kind words for this piker)
Hello everybody, I need help with this one, appreciate all your input. IB Interactive brokers is my brokers and IB offers STOP Loss orders only during regular market hours 9:30 am - 4:00 EST . we can place STOP orders 24x7 with IB but they execute only during mkt. hours . I guess the IB reason seems outside market hours prices are not liquid IB may be worried your STOP may be executed too far off the STOP price. But in case of CL liquidity is not an issue. I am not able to take some orders in OIL (CL) during outside market hours due to this limitation. Is any other broker offering this feature? or is there any work around ( different order type combo ) to achieve this.
I use IB and they have an option to allow stops to work outside regular trading hours. Go to Configure>Order>Order presets and there's an option for allowing orders to be active outside of RTH. You can set it for each type of order.
IB does take STOP orders in AH hours. I use it all the time. You need to go into Global Settings (Configure --> Global --> Presets) and check the box that reads "Allow orders to be activated, or filled outside of RTH". ::Edit:: I guess NoD beat me to it.
