Note that if you are using the AA Scan "Run every:" 5 min, it will not run every 5 minutes, but delay 5 minutes between each run. I complained about this as a bug - it is at least a UI design bug since it is not clear. (It would be more useful if it actually did run on regular intervals, as soon as it could anyway, making noise if it runs out of time.)
I don't know about your delayed buy signals, which might be due to your broker. But if you are estimating time of the order based on the number of intervals executed, then you will be out of sync. If your 5 minute intervals take 3 minutes to run, then you will be delayed by about equivalent real time. Hope that helps. dan [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- In [email protected], "j_john66" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, > > I am trying to write AFL code to trade in realtime. > > The problem I am facing is this. > > I have a watchlist of around 150 stocks. > > Buy/sell signals for these stocks in the watchlist get generated > using common indicators MACD and stochastics in a 5 minute > timeframe on completed bars. > > I run this AFL after 10-15 minutes of market opening at regular > intervals of 5 mins.
