Live Trading Session
A live trading session is a trading mode by which the trading bot instance reads a live market data feed, applies the rules as defined in the associated trading system, places the corresponding orders at the associated exchange, and stores the defined data products.
Content
A live trading session node must reference a trading system to gain access to the trading logic to be applied during the session. Other considerations framing the session come from the set of parameters attached to it.
Foundations->Concept->Reusable Snippets->Important for Live Sessions
Important: Running a live session requires the setup of a key reference at the Task. It also requires a live data feed, meaning that the corresponding Sensor Bot Instance, along with all indicators used by the referenced Trading System, must be up and running. Finally, a live session also requires at least 48 hours of historic market data. Bear in mind that the Trading System may require even more historic market data to properly analyze the market depending on the indicators used.
Running
Running Live Trading Session
Before you start a live trading session, the corresponding task needs to be running, as it is the task that puts the trading bot instance to run. Once the trading bot instance is running, select Run on the menu to start the session.
To stop a live trading session, select Stop on the menu.
Configuring
Live Trading Session Configuration
Properties
-
folderNameallows you to set a significant name to the folder in which the data products—and logs—generated by the session are stored. If left blank, the system names the folders with the session id. This may be handy when you intend to consult the raw data generated by the session, as, otherwise, the folder would be hard to identify.
