Problem of auto order placing problem. Now I have connected amibroker with TWS through IB controller. When I start log in amibroker, many orders will start placing immediately in accordance with my AFL strategies, but auto- orders placing will be stopped after running for a while. I need to kick the charts or log off and log on amibroker platform again, then orders placing start functioning again. It delay the times of order placing enormously and lead to profit losses frequently
pls help me find out and solve this problem.
Thanks and Best Regards,
