Yesterday and again today the daily auto-close did not work. Can you please fix? Daytrading systems are now overnight systems 
Please explain the issue to me again, what’s not working?
There’s an option on the system settings to close all positions every day at a specific time. Twice this week it didn’t work and left positions open after that time. It worked yesterday though.
This is a known issue, basically caused by the increasing number of systems on the site. Unfortunately, the solution is a complete re-architecture of the automatic-close-positions function. This is not something that we can immediately do, so for now I encourage system developers to manually be in charge of closing their own positions, and not rely on C2’s auto-close-at-time setting. I’ll keep you posted on progress.
Would moving the time to 3:58 help with this or not?
Yes, it would incrementally help. Basically, your system is in a death match with other C2 systems, fighting for finite CPU resources. So the earlier you move your autoclose, the more likely you won’t be competing with others for a swamped server. Still no guarantees until I re-jigger the damn thing from scratch. I am sorry. Wish I had better news.
No worries I adjusted the timeframe of my system to think EOD is 3:59 so it will automatically close.
On the plus side, booming business for you causing headaches is better than the alternative 
May not work as well , i’ve tried to put it at 3:55 for the FDAX and it did miss …
I updated it on my server to close it but that’s good info that sometimes it runs more than 5 minutes behind.
Matthew would it help to run a service earlier (say 3:30 PM) that enters good after time orders with a good after time of the end of day time specified? Or add a way to do this automatically?
Strategy Managers:
I have installed new auto-close software which should operate much faster than the old version. If you have a low-impact system (read as: few subscribers or no autotraders) and want to give it try, please report back to me how it works for you. You can turn on the “auto-close at time X” feature just as you always have, via the Edit System button. Send feedback and trouble reports to help@collective2.com.
I’m cautiously optimistic the new software will be better able to handle the increased number of C2 users and strategies.
Cautiously optimistic… pending real-world usage reports.
Matthew
