I have 20 strategies running on 20 different watchlists One hour after market close becasue I need to collect data from other datasources. Is there any way to running the "multi-strategy" at the time when other data is ready? I really dont' want to right click on each individual strategy and "run the strategy now" 20 times.

Until 6.1 with custom run time option, I'm afraid no.

Do you know the estimated time for the release of 6.1?

Fidelity doesn't provide ETAs. To quote Cone # 9/7/2010 6:06 PM:

Sure there is. Don't open the Strategy Monitor until you want to run it.

"Sure there is. Don't open the Strategy Monitor until you want to run it. "
more details/explainations please?
Do you mean the 20 strategies will run automatically when you open the strategy monitor?

o Strategies are scheduled to run at a specific time.
o If the S. Monitor isn't open, it can't run the strategies.
o If you open the S. Monitor after a scheduled run time, then it will run [all] the strategies that missed their scheduled run time.

So, keep the S. Monitor closed until you've collected all your data and are ready to run it.

Hi, Cone

I openned the S. Monitor after a scheduled run time. It showed the strategy was running, but it didn't export information to external excel file which is coded in the strategy. I manually clicked "run the strategy now". It did export information to excel file. What is running in S. Monitor when a scheduled run time is reached. Any idea about this?

Another problem is one strategy's next run time is always at 12:30AM. Is this a bug?

Thanks.

Is it possible that the file was in use by another process, so your strategy was locked out from accessing it? I don't know what else to tell you. Try again and if it's repeatable (after making sure the file is not locked), then open a Support Ticket and we'll take it from there.

Could be. Who is the data provider?
