This update includes several small changes and bug fixes. It is a recommend upgrade for everyone.
Important Change - Premium & % of Net Liq Allocations
- Added Min Qty to Scheduled and Triggered trades set to use PremiunAllocation or PctOfNetLiq Qty calculation. This is a change in current behavior and could result in trades not being entered if you previously allowed TAT to open a minimum of 1 contract even if your allocation was too low. More Info
Trading New Features / Changes
- Update Slippage calculation for trades with stop set to Short only and excess longs being resold to only count the difference between the stop trigger price and the fill price for the short leg stop order only, ignoring the resold long.
- Require daily profit target amount to be met for 15 seconds consecutively before trade closes trigger. This will prevent closing trades early, due to a quick spike or erroneous pricing information on a given trade resulting in a temporarily inaccurate profit calculation.
- Added the ability to select trade strikes based on a specified distance from the open price (SPX only) More Info
- Automatically cancel trade entries at IBKR in the event the order is rejected due to low buying power. This will prevent repeated attempts all resulting in rejected orders while stop orders from existing trades may have been cancelled while working the new trade.
Bug Fixes
- Automatically recovery if VIX data stream is outdated for TradeStation
- Correct order entry issues at TradeStation for users in regions with comma decimal separators using PctOfNetLiq allocation.
- Better handle the unexpected situation where TWS returns a duplicate orderID error, but allows the order to activate anyway.
- Fix to correctly handle SPY and QQQ strikes at .50 increments for TradeStation
- Additional logic to refresh outdated market data at TradeStation in the event a close order doesn't fill properly due to incorrect price for the long option.
- Update SPX estimation logic for Tradier which was sometimes slightly off later in the afternoon.
- Added Max width to the Trade Template dropdown in the system to keep a long template name from causing the dropdown to grow and push other items off of the screen.
- Correct logic to saving closing price which was incorrect in a specific scenario involving long call and puts trades close with partial profit target and then stopped out the remaining qty.
