I have a custom strategy written for me by a developer. The strategy has start, stop times, ATM selection, etc. What I would like to do is enable the strategy before I go to bed - say 10pm EST. Then the enabled strategy would "start" at my selected start time and look for the setup until the stop time. The custom strategy also has a "profit goal" that when hit during trading closes positions and no more trades are taken.
2 questions:
1) There seem to be NT "system resets" or "system updates" that happen around midnight that sometimes (I can't say all the time) disable my strategy. Based on your knowledge of what NT does at 12am (end of a day start of a new day) would this cause enabled strategies to disable?
2) Account activity for the day "zeroes out" at midnight. If NT is running when this happens does this happen correctly? Or does NT need to be shutdown and restarted to correctly reset my accts to zero?
At this point I find myself waking up at 12:01am to enable my strategies and then go back to bed and that is a major pain!
Thank you for your help.
