Interactive Brokers - End of Day Flat Feature

Does IB's TWS have a feature that allows you to go flat at the end of day with one click in all markets (futures, stocks, forex, etc)?

Thx

 

you can close all positions, but I am not aware of being able to trigger it to a certain time...

you could do this in tradelink for your IB account like so :

Code:

using TradeLink.API;
using TradeLink.Common;
using System.ComponentModel;
public class FlatClose : ResponseTemplate
{
  PositionTracker _pt = new PositionTracker();
  List<string> _syms = new List<string>();
  override void GotPosition(Position p) 
 { 
     _pt.Adjust(p);  
     _syms.Add(p.Symbol); 
      sendbasket(_syms.ToArray()); 
  }
  override void GotFill(Trade fill) { _pt.Adjust(fill); }
  int SHUTTIME = 155000;
  [Description("shut down at this time")]
  public int ShutTime { get { return SHUTTIME; } set { SHUTTIME = value; } }
  override void GotTick(Tick k)
  {
       if (!isValid) return;
       if (k.time>ShutTime)
       {
          isValid = false;
          foreach (Position p in _pt)
             sendorder(new MarketOrderFlat(p));
          D("auto shutdown");
        }
  }
  public FlatClose()
  {
       // prompt user to change shutdown time when response started
       ParamPrompt.Popup(this);
   }
}

Then when you loaded this strategy in ASP, it would prompt you for a shutdown time and shutdown any positions present at that time.

Chart Trader has the "close position" button, but that's only for one product. Might still be useful.

I don't know the real answer to your question though.

 

On the Order menu in TWS there is a "Close All Positions" item which I believe should allow you to close everything manually with just a few clicks. Or you could assign it to a hotkey(?). I've never used it however...
