Does anybody know how to disable this warning? Are there any others that I should be aware when placing advisor orders?

Nice mess bra.

LOL, multi-decade successful trader tries to help. Newb idiot tells him he's full of it. ET in a nutshell.

My background was in real-time distributed systems, so I applied the same general ideas to trading systems. You always code pessimistically (assume any external resource is potentially not available or has the potential to become a random number generator), you orthogonalize all your state and...

They don't have to be. One of the tricks is to make things "pluggable" so that strategies are not aware of what context they are running in.

Correct. The cost of time is huge anyway to do anything properly. I think the key with any large chunk of work is knowing what you're shooting for.

What's wrong with doing 2? Esp. if current platforms don't cater to what you want?

OK, I think I've figured it out. Under 'Stocks' one must tick 'Prefer SMART', then the options appear.

So with the dialog you posted, how would you configure 'highest rebate' for stocks?

That's what I mean, under "Smart Stock Routing Algorithms" there is only "multi-purpose" & "dark only". It used to look like the attached file.

Nope, but I was looking at their service, I guess I'll forget that one :)

All their social media stopped a few years ago, the last notices on their site are from the start of this year. They don't respond to emails.

Speak for yourself, I haven't had a drink since Saturday.

Thanks IB-AN, I have sent you a PM.

Correct, the current account is a margin account, I will have to check the f & f account. I presume they have to match? How do you draw that conclusion from the error messages?

I have opened a F & F account to which I want to add my current trading account. But when I try and link it I get the following errors: "the advisor is not allowed to have commodities clients" "the master is not registered to trade commodities". The F & F account has the same trading...

What kind of data are you using?

It seems to be working now, but the open was fucked up.

This is very true, I run automated systems at a fairly high Sharpe, even then, intra-day p/l can just seem like noise. I still watch what's going on in terms of p/l every day, but only to make sure that nothing new or exceptional is happening. Obsessing over short term p/l is a very real...
