Re: Additional license

Everything ran perfectly the rest of the day -- thank you again for your help.

I'll experiment with your suggestion in a few days once we have everything moved to our new machine

Re: Additional license

Many thanks for all the help via TeamViewer this morning. It seems that setting the TradeStation processes to "1" solved the problem. We are running as expected on our development machine with no issues so far -- I'll check in at the end of the day to verify.

Thank you
Rick

Re: Additional license

Yes -- the license files are identical. I have new files and will use them tomorrow.

Re: Additional license

Our IT guys are going to wipe everything clean on the new machine and we will start fresh tomorrow. In the meantime, I turned on the live machine, and it still works perfectly, so it is probably not a license issue -- please recall that the live machine has had no problems at all -- let's see what h...

Re: Additional license

No change -- log still not correct and not all trades being sent to IB -- same as earlier

Re: Additional license

Let me shut down everything and try again to see if a total restart might work.

Re: Additional license

It's a little different, but overall it is unchanged -- the first trade executed with one TS strategy but not the other. The log however is not acting the same as it has in the past. Also, to be sure we are clear, we are only running with one copy of TWSLink at this point -- not on two simultaneous ...

Re: Additional license

Something is wrong and I'm not sure where to look. I installed TWSLInk on the new machine, making sure it was the most recent release. I checked the license and everything is BLUE, so that looks good. I copied all the TradeStation windows and code unchanged from the old to the new machine. I signed ...

Additional license

I need to buy a second license so that I can run a production machine in addition to a development machine -- is there anything special I should consider, or is it as simple as downloading the software (I have already done that) and getting a new license key. Also, is there any issue with running ou...

Re: Placing Adaptive Algorithmic orders

We have run 9 trades so far this morning and everything is working fine. I saved the log from the day we had problems if you ever want it

Re: Placing Adaptive Algorithmic orders

I just want to be 100% sure that we are addressing the same problem -- I am not disputing that we somehow were sending "VXX Alloc" to IB -- that is very clear. What is not clear is where that string is coming from since it is nowhere in our code.

Re: Placing Adaptive Algorithmic orders

One other thought: We are running models in three other TS windows -- none of them are using the IB algos yet The three other models have profiles of "SVXY Alloc", "SPY Alloc", and one uses "VXX Alloc" -- they all work fine and have been fine for many months. Is there any scenario where this model r...

Re: Placing Adaptive Algorithmic orders

I have mentioned before that we are on a live machine and we don't allow TeamViewer to access it. I totally agree that we are sending "VXX Alloc" even though the code has "VXX Algo Alloc" in every one of our SET_FA_MEMBERS statements. I have done a global search for "VXX Alloc" and it simply is not ...

Re: Placing Adaptive Algorithmic orders

There is nothing more to check -- you have all our code and you can see for yourself that we aren't manipulating the string -- it is either "VXX Algo Alloc" which doesn't work or "VXXAlgoAlloc" that does work. Every SET_FA_MEMBERS string is either setFAVXX = SET_FA_MEMBERS(oidCloseOrderVXX,"","","VX...

Re: Placing Adaptive Algorithmic orders

Yes -- let's be clear. The first order does not allocate correctly because somewhere along the line the "Algo" got stripped out of the string, and the profile "VXX Alloc" was transmitted -- incorrectly. "VXX Alloc" is wrong -- period. On the other hand, the second order worked perfectly since the "V...

Re: Placing Adaptive Algorithmic orders

Here is the original order from this morning -- the SET_FA_MEMBERS has stripped out the "Algo" from the string: 20171019 09:45:00:021; 86544;note;tcExpFunc;PLACE_ORDER;-50007 -0 -BUY -MKT -5610 -0.0000000000 -0.0000000000 -DAY --1 -0 20171019 09:45:00:022; 86544;note;tcExpFunc;PLACE_ORDER;ret=97058 ...

Re: Placing Adaptive Algorithmic orders

I can't make it work with the "VXX Algo Alloc" string -- the Algo part always gets stripped out before it is transmitted.

However, the string "VXXAlgoAlloc" works perfectly, so that is what I am going with unless it blows up down the line.

Re: Placing Adaptive Algorithmic orders

I checked every SET_FA_MEMBERS, and they are all using "VXX Algo Alloc" Also the string "VXX Alloc" is nowhere in the code I will rename to VXXAlgoAlloc and we will see what happens when the next execution is triggered -- I am using live code, so there are typically only 2 - 3 trades per day, so it ...
