v4.0.45 Release

TAT v4.0.45 Update is now available and is recommended for all users, especially IBKR traders. Additionally, we recommend upgrading to the TWS version 10.37.1m which is also now available on the TAT website.

This update includes the following changes:

IBKR Updates
- IBKR made changes over the last month to how partially filled orders are handled by their API and also to how and when they activate orders for new trade entry and also closing orders. These changes caused some TAT trades to overfill or underfill (after our previous update) and also for entry trades to expire without starting the fill progression. This TAT update is set up to handle these new IBKR behaviors.
Stop Limit Orders
- Stop Limit only orders are now available at all brokers (without requiring a Stop market OCO order). This will allow you to place your stops with stop limit orders. This will prevent fills at unexpectedly high prices that could occur with stop market orders, but could potentially result in a situation where your stop limit is skipped over if the market moves too quickly and you may need to handle the trade manually.
Close Trades Beyond Stop
- Safety feature logic for closing trades beyond stops has been updated to allow user defined % beyond stop and also a customized waiting period in seconds before TAT will close the trade.
Holiday Hours Support
- TAT is now automatically aware of market holidays. TAT will show the market closed automatically during full day market holidays, such as Christmas, New Year's Day, etc. and will not submit any trades on those days. Additionally, TAT is aware of half days where the market closes at 1pm ET, such as the day after Thanksgiving. On these half days, TAT will automatically adjust the market close time, end of day and settlement task execution times, and ITM protection order condition times. It will
not
change any scheduled exit times, so you may need to update your templates or manually close trades with scheduled exits.
Market Data
- Update Market Data settings to allow different DTEs for each ticker.
Stop Conversion Trigger Price
- Allow stops to be converted at user defined level (if desired to happen sooner than 0 bid, such as .10 for example.)
Entry Seconds
- Added Seconds to scheduled entries to allow for more precise control over the order of trade entries.
