Thank you for sharing this timing saving information. Can your setup be modified for subscription email signal alerts? I get an email with stocks to buy or short and would like to setup automated trading from that email. Do you know what software/service I can look into to automate trades from email alerts?

Thanks,
Bob

i want trade 20.000 eur.usd but my problem is that when BT read the ats script (changed by me in : “my $DefaultEURSize=20000;”) the number is the same: “1″

again… the file Ym.txt is created, but Eur.txt not…. what is the problem?

thanks in advance

Thanks again, man. You are the man.

I think I may have an answer. Have a look at SMTP Server for Developers. http://www.antix.co.uk/Projects/SMTPServerForDevelopers.aspx This free program has an SMTP receiver, but no sender or POP3 interface. It simply writes the e-mails as files into a directory. What is nice is that the program runs as User rather than as a service. It is not wasting any system resources.

The ATS script could be modified to remove the POP input code and replace it with a routine that looks for the oldest file in the mail directory, sends the command to BracketTrader, and deletes the file.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks for your quick replying, I found the problem:
First i Use your new ats script but i found that when the trigger was Exit from the position the file was created under C:\jts\…\signals\.txt was dot.txt the current symbol not identify by bracket trader.
i opened the ats.pl and i found that the symbol isn’t writing in the trigger :”my($symbol)=”";
my($shares)=1;
my($ordertype)=”";
And when i change the line:”my($symbol)=”YM”;
the exit trigger was working great but what happened if i like to trade with tow symbols in the same time?

Thanks for your help and Best Regards,
LA

I have a problem with the new ATS script. i got a error message in bracket trader with this message “Entry signal, not processed !!” ,when the current position is a Long position and the signal is now entry to Short. i configured 4 paint bars top with the same entry and exit criteria: the 2 headers paint bars top are the entry to short and entry to long position, and another follow 2 paint bars with the same triggers but the names are different and the mail alert are to exit from the current position exits from long and short alerts.
if somebody can tell me what I do wrong?!!

Thanks a lot,
LA
