Hi everybody. I'm a newbie. I was drawn to Wealth Lab Pro (WLP) because I could approximate my trading strategy and (I thought anyway) have it automated. But, I've run into a little kink where the program logs me out every evening. My strategy has a component that is Buy at next bar open, so if I have to be away and cannot log in, I am just out of luck for the day(s).

Would appreciate your help with this. I'm sure you long-timers have all been through this and have written a quick piece of code to automate the login.

I'm planning to learn at least some C# programming, so I can help myself more. But, I'm at the infancy stage with that.

Thanks!

You could try to record a macro with AutoIT, for example.

Does anyone know what time Wealth-Lab does it's automatic log-out on your account each day? I can't code yet to develop an auto-login, so I need to know what time to log back in each day for a while. Was logged out about 10:00 last night and I logged back in. This morning I find I'm logged out again, and my strategy didn't buy at the open because of that.

The Fidelity authorization cookie expires so you have to enter credentials again, so it's not possible to stay logged in to Fidelity overnight.

By the way, if coding is a problem then have you tried the script recorder feature of AutoIT?

I have a tutorial pulled up on it right now Eugene. I'll keep after it until I learn how to use it. Just found out from Fidelity that the timeout (hard coded in the system for WLP) is 10 hours. I've been logging in each morning around 7:00 eastern, so I can catch the entire market day, but for some reason it logged me out before the open. Tonight I will try shutting down the whole program (I've been leaving it up, and just logging in again each morning). Maybe that will make a difference if I am bringing up the WLP program fresh each day.

Restarting fresh each day is highly recommended. (Not necessarily required, but highly recommended.)

Thanks Cone. That's the plan. I appreciate your and Eugene's help.
