MultiWalk Rollover Change Log

 

Added TradeStation rollover date schedule.  Rollover dates will be read from CSV file using data provided by TradeStation.  This information is stored in the file MultiWalkRolloverSchedule.csv found in the rollover program folder.  File has been updated to include TradeStation’s 2026 contract rollovers.  The inclusion of these rollover dates, in addition to all the other rollover checks in the monitor, provides extra assurance that rollovers will not be missed.

 

Added workaround patch for TradeStation Update 89, 90 and 91 issues.

 

Installation has been streamlined using an installation program instead of ZIP file.

 

Bug fix: If a symbol was removed from the rollover list AND it failed to load (i.e., it does not exist in TradeStation), the symbol continued to try to load every time MultiWalk Rollover was run and display an error message in the activity window.  In other words, there was no way to get rid of the symbol once it was in the database.  This was originally by design as we always want to keep symbols updated even if they are not currently being tracked. But they should be removed from the database if TradeStation cannot load data for the symbol.

 

 

TradeStation is not always timely with updating their symbol data servers. See this article for an example. This means that TradeStation’s continuous symbol contracts can be out-of-date. Since we use this contract as the basis for rollovers, rollovers can be missed. This can result in fees when TradeStation closes any open contracts to avoid delivery of the commodity. The MultiWalk Rollover Monitor now has a new notification action to generate alerts when you are X days before the First Notice or Expiration Date. These alerts give us an early warning that we are getting close to the expiration of a contract, regardless of the status of TradeStation’s continuous symbol.  Contracts must be rolled over before these dates!

 

Alerts are now consolidated within one popup window/email instead of one popup or email per symbol.

 

Contract expiration date alerts will occur once per day, even if the Rollover Monitor is run several times a day. This is to minimize excessive spamming of the popup windows or email notifications.

 

New alert message token: %alerttype%. Use this in your notification program arguments to distinguish between “Rollover” and “Expiration Date” messages. If you already have arguments defined, be sure to change them to use %alerttype% to make this distinction!

 

Days that are within X days of FND/expiration dates are highlighted in red in the displayed symbol table.

 

Rollover dates for some symbols, such as Eurex symbols @FDAX and @FDXM, were not being recognized.

Other minor cosmetic fixes.
