Contract settings

In the contract settings screen you can define the trade setup for a specific security type ('STOCKS','FUTURE'). You define a future expiry and the contract size. The order type is fixed to market, since we trade based on signals from your trading software.

The last order position can also be changed here. You need to do this when you manually changed your position. Autotrader will keep track of future expiry dates and can send you an e-mail up to n-days before the expiry warning you that you have to close your position or roll forward your position.

An important setting is here which directory you want to log your trades to. This is a ASCII file logging all the trades performed. There is also an internal logging mechanism. See Logging
