Trading with the Trade
Processor
The Trade Processor is designed to fully automate trading your WizeVest account.
However, manual trades can also be easily placed using the Trade Processor.
This chapter provides details on general trading, trading manually, and also some
situations to avoid while using the Trade Processor.
Automatic Trading
It is most common to allow the Trade Processor to run in automatic mode. In order to
do this, it is necessary to configure the desired trading times under
Edit››Trade
Settings
and make sure the Trade Processor is running prior to the designated time.
Orders will not be placed automatically if the Trade Processor is not running during
the trading window.
The Trade Processor can run continuously. It is recommended that you check the
connection daily prior to the trading window you specify. If you do not want to run
the Trade Processor constantly, you can start the Trade Processor at any time prior to
the trading window and then close it once the orders are submitted.
Trading
You may find that you want to add or remove orders and positions in addition to the
ones that are being handled automatically. Orders can be placed manually using the
Trade Processor from any of the Trade Information tabs. Add or remove the check in
the enable box on the selected tab next to the symbol according to what action you
want the Trade Processor to take.
Manual trades may be handled differently on each trading tab. Orders are also subject
to the Trade Settings trade times.
