Is ProRealTime a viable solution for my system?

  Hi all,

  New to the world of ProRealCode and ProRealTime.

  Im trying to work out if ProRealTime automation is compatible with my requirements and would really appreciate some input.

  Im currently UK based with IG.COM and use the spread betting account.

  I typically use the IG portal for discretional trading but iv have been looking into automation and a new strategy for the last couple of months based around the opening range.

  Im not at all a coder but i have managed to utilise Python using a mixture of AIs to obtain paid data and run a simple back testing engine that works well.

  Iv created a python script for deployment using IGs API however im hitting a lot of limitations.. due to it being an opening range system, im having to gather the first 15M of data, analyse multiple tickers and deploy the orders in a short period of time, its causing API limits to be exceeded and taking some time to deploy all of the trades, it can be on unto 30 tickers – I could potentially use web socket and “helpers” to speed things up but both of these are outside of my limited skill set.

  Im thinking now I can potentially use ProRealTime (either the free subscription or a full package) to deploy the orders – is this possible? any limitations?

  I manually handle the trades after deployment, the entry rules are super simple.

  Opening range = 15 minuets, if open is higher then close then its a short order at the MID price of the ORB low with a stop at the ASK price of the ORB high, if open is lower then close then its a buy order at MID high, stop loss at BID low..

  Trades to be sized on a % of account.

  Any feedback appreciated.

  Happy happy to commission the script if it’s something this solution is viable.

  Hi !

  Hmm … No multiple tickers can be observed, and 15M of data … if that is bars, than 1M is max.
  Showstopper I guess. 🙁

  Thanks for the reply. its just the opening 15 minutes that need to be assesses (basically if its green or red)

  Can I not create duplicates of the strategy to run on multiple tickers?

  Yes sketchx,  you can create duplicates of your Systems / Algos and run them on same / other Instruments.

  I’m sure the PRT Platform will do all you need.

  Sounds like you already have a coded Algo?  Conversions (from Python?) can be had if you ask nicely on here (not by me, but by our Coding Wizards on here).

  If you want to keep your code hidden / not public / posted on here then Conversions can be paid for here …

  Amazing thanks. iv already requested info on coding. to be honest its so simple it doesn’t need my old code – feel bad asking for a handout, happy to pay 🙂
