Nested Shadow Strategies

shawnj · 10-14-2007, 08:29 PM

Can a Shadow Strategy be set-up to trigger another Shadow Strategy. In other words would this be a way to run multiple Shadow Strategies.

It looks like I can actually set it up but will it actually work.

Yes, I believe it should work.

FYI I tried it out today. It looks like only the first Shadow Strategy executes, the nested ones don't, the best I can tell so far.

Some feedback on the Shadow Strategy feature, for whatever its worth:

Its a little disconcerning when your watching your live trade and you here that an order has filled when you are not expecting it. I finally realized the Shadow Strategy must have filled. Would be nice to have an option to turn the audio off for the Shadow Strategy fills and have it run truely in the shadow <g>.

I can understand that, thanks for the suggestion.
