Hi there, I have been a member of this group for a little while and am enjoying the lively conversations that are on-going. Many thanks to Eugene for posting the Classic strategies. There are a few questions in my mind that I have not yet resolved although the answer may be obvious to others:
a) How do you trade an instrument around the clock without making any manual adjustments to the code? I would like to be able to put a position and then use a trailing stop loss to re-adjust my position. I know JBT makes provisions for lost trades when TWS is not connected. How do you modify the program to run continuously without missing any trades (on a dedicated server perhaps?) b) does a single JBT session allows for using multiple instruments to be traded with the same underlying strategy? if my strategy requires to trade spot Euro with two nearest month futures contract, is that possible c) what if the strategy requires to address two different accounts? let's say I have some trades to be placed on a primary account and some offsetting trades on a hedge-account, is that something do-able with JBT d) latency and delay. assuming you wanted to implement a strategy that aims for speed of execution, how close can you get to a real-time performance with IB's platform. From what I have been told and observed, the market snapshot operates at an interval of 1 second aggregating smaller data intervals. what can be realistically done to improve on this performance in terms of hardware or software.
