So Cry,
where's that thread exactly? in FF?
I'm going to search around
I "fleed" from work a little early so that I could set up Herb-the-Marvelous's Long Swap robot.
All set up now and ready to swap! This is almost a piece of art, you know. Everything is there to set up like you wish (for example I adjusted the entry time to 21:59 since my broker's time = +5. Also I put in 10 standard lots since this is what I would need to make some nice pennies. Also I'll leave the "confirmation time frame" at 15 min (if it's bullish we stay in until several other criteria is met or not and if bearish, immediate exit) Don't know if 15 min is too long or too short, and we'll need to study this more in detail. But 15m sounds good for tonight.
And then on screen you have all this current and updated information telling you exactly what's going on right this minute and the state of affairs with the bot etc. Very cool
Really exciting to test this. Too bad it's just once a week tho. I wonder if I could actually backtest this? Hold on a sec...............

Quote from IBFX:
When are swap rates calculated?
Swap rates are calculated daily at 4:59 EST. Trades that have been opened before 4:59 EST and held open past this time will be subject to swap rates. Swap rates are tripled on Wednesday at 4:59 EST.
This means your trade needs to be in BEFORE 22:59
If I understand this correctly?!

Hi there Herb
Not sure I follow you. They might "calculate" the swap whenever they fancy, but they "deliver" (ie deposit in my account) at 23:00 (or do you mean to tell me they DEPOSIT at 22:59)?

The software programming allows you to query all kinds of information.
I can e.g. also put your name onscreen or your account No.
All this info is available by using some MarketInfo request to the broker.
I'm glad you like it.
Now if we can get it to work, that would be even better....
The problem is (as you noticed) this cannot be backtested.
If anything goes wrong we have to fix it and try again next week.

YUP I read it the same as you (except my broker is MIG, might be different). But last week I did take the trade at 15 seconds before BABOUM time and everything went fine, so I'll leave it like this for tonight, but I guess it depends on your broker. Now in IBFX's case, yes I would need to set the time a WHOLE MINUTE more which to me seems a bit scary. Maybe next week I'll try that just in case MIG decides to change their policy and I'll then see if it's riskier than 15 seconds or not.
Hey, BTW, great work
