Desky. TDesk's trading drone.

Hello again, were you able to check?

Hello again, were you able to check?

I came down with a cataclysmic bug last week - no voice and a throat that needed a fire extinguisher.

This Friday.

[posido]

Oh dear, get well soon!

[SteveHopwood]

I have found the problem. I am trying to use a function (closeAllTrades(allSymbols, allTrades);) intended to close all orders for a specific symbol, to shut down all trades. This actually needs a separate function designed to close all open/pending orders. I will write this in time for next Friday.

[SteveHopwood]

No need to wait for next week. The fix is in post 1 - V 1t.

For the DIYers:
Navigate to void shutDownForTheWeekend()
Scroll down the bottom of the function, to the code block that starts with, "if (CloseDelete)".

Replace the entire block with this:

Code: Select all

   if (CloseDelete)
   {
      globalBasketClosure();
      if (forceWholePositionClosure)
         globalBasketClosure();
      if (forceWholePositionClosure)
         globalBasketClosure();
   }//if (CloseDelete)

Thanks for bringing this up posido. Desky is nearly four and a half years old, so amazing this has not been spotted before. Cheers.

Have found an issue whereby if I enable Individal Basket Trading in desky then desky will not open a trade... Soon as it is disabled then desky will open a trade fine. Hoping this is an easy fix!

This one has me beat. I cannot see how individual basket trading interferes. As a stopgap, see if Paul's MPBM will do the job separately from Desky. I will code an individual basket manager for you if not.

Good evening Steve,
recently I experienced a VETOANDFORCEEXIT signal from TDesk. I expected Desky to close the position but it did not. Even after a reload of Desky it did not close the appropriate position. When I checked the GV the respective entry was TDSUPERSSIGNAL/pair/4. I am wondering if Desky is able to handle VETOANDFORCEEXIT signals or not. Is there a way to check if it does? Did I do something wrong perhaps?

Desky responds to these signals sent by TDesk:
NONE,
FLAT,
LONG,
SHORT,
EXIT,

I have no idea if VETOANDFORCEEXIT will tell TDesk to send an EXIT signal but if not then Desky will not respond.

It does.
