Swing trading with IB & Ninja

[Stok]

Question: If I have ATM setup in ninja for swing/overnight positions.....since I have to shutdown IB ever day, when I start IB back up, can Ninja reconnect to pending orders that where placed before and still manage the strategy?

Hello Stok,

Yes, upon re-connecting the next day, the OCO orders should re-appear if not executed and cancelled. Please see the link below.

OCO (ATM strategy) functionality is natively supported on IB's servers.

OK great! Can this be done on 2 PC's? I have an office PC in which swing trades are initiated and then at home, use the laptop (sometimes orders are filled overnight in currencies). So, if running Ninja on both, with the home PC re-pickup orders I initiated on another PC or at least pick up the initial position and then I can manage the strategy (break even, targets, stops) right there? TIA!

Hello Stok,

Yes, I believe this should be possible.

Hi Stok,

Has this been successful?

I have yet to try this yet...I'll report back, but it will be a week or two.

I would be also very interested in the results of this re-connecting.
