Not at the moment, but I think it will take several more months. The current available instruments are by far the most traded ones, that’s why they were made available as soon as the automatic trading was activated.
hello Nicolas, when will we be able to increase the number of contracts? when will it be possible to manually trade an index on which I have placed a robot. THANKS
when will it be possible to manually trade an index on which I have placed a robot.
Never (that I can think of).
🙁
For the moment the limit of contracts is 5 contracts max. This limit, subject, should be lifted in April. Regarding manual trading at the same time as automatic trading on the same Futures instrument, this is not possible at the moment. IB aggregates all of its positions and this makes it difficult to process orders in this context. I'm not saying this will never be possible, it's currently being studied. For the moment, the best advice I can give is to create a specific sub-account for manual trading, the procedure to open a sub-account is not complex.
Do you have any idea when we will be able to trade the Mini Nasdaq100 ( not the Micro E-mini ) . Can I assume by end of april because I understand by end or april the limit of contract will disapear ?
Good morning, When will it be possible to put algos on MINI DJ, MINI DAX, MINI NASDAQ? To date I can put a maximum of 5 mini contracts, right? Because I had a message that blocked me because I exceeded 1 contract.
Hi Nicolas,
It would great if we could manually override a trade initiated by a strategy. Ie interacting with the graph to close the position, to move the stop, cancel the stop loss.
Has it already been discussed as possible platform enhancement?
Thanks
We can do this by going on the IG Platform and doing what you describe above, but this results in the Strategy being stopped, the trade then continues as a manual trade … I do this procedure often!
If you wish you then start the Strategy running again in PRT ProOrder.
Thanks, this is I was thinking since I am sometimes watching strategies making winning trades but not always respecting the Stop Profit and then become losing positions.
Hi,
My PRT account is linked to IB.
When I am running ProOrder in papertrading, is the environment applying IB rules?
Thanks
- IB Rules re broker-related matters.
2. PRT Rules re coded strategy, but certain rules (e.g. SL and TP) may be affected in some way by 1. above.
@nicolas the rules are no longer up to date is it a maximum of 5 micro contracts? how not to have a close of positions when expiration. Indeed it is frustrating to have to take a loss when it is a winning position. Thank’s
Thanks. I’ll open an IG account while ProOrder on IB is getting ready.
are there still issues with trailing stops?
