when will it be possible to manually trade an index on which I have placed a robot.
Never (that I can think of).
🙁03/30/2023 at 8:19 AM #212489For 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.

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
04/02/2023 at 6:50 AM #212649We 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.
04/02/2023 at 11:05 AM #212655Thanks, 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.
04/03/2023 at 9:29 AM #212712Hi,
My PRT account is linked to IB.
When I am running ProOrder in papertrading, is the environment applying IB rules?
Thanks
