SIM Auto-Trade Flow

Review the daily top 5 high-probability scanner ideas, inspect the entry and exit plan, then route a manual paper ticket or TradeStation SIM order with risk controls and order logging.

Execution Boundary

Manual tickets are logged through the internal paper broker. TradeStation SIM submission requires OAuth, an explicit execution-mode selection, and the server-side SIM order-submit environment gate.

SIM-First

Use paper and SIM accounts to validate logic, fills, exits, and logging before live routing.

Defined Risk

Every order passes max-loss, quantity, daily-loss, and event-risk checks.

Audit Ready

Every signal, quote snapshot, decision, order state, and exit reason is logged.

Curated Scanner Ideas

Top 5 High-Probability SIM Tickets

These are the current active scanner ideas, ranked by probability, volatility edge, premium, liquidity, and diversification. Each card includes entry, exit, risk, and a paper or SIM broker ticket action.

Execution Workflow

1

Signal

Strategy engine creates a setup only after trend, volatility, and event filters agree.

2

Contract Filter

Rejects wide markets, thin open interest, earnings risk, and expirations outside the rule set.

3

Risk Gate

Checks max loss, daily loss, position count, strategy permissions, and kill-switch state.

4

Ticket Builder

Creates a single limit order ticket with strikes, DTE, quantity, and repricing rules.

5

SIM Handoff

Routes to manual paperMoney confirmation or the TradeStation SIM API adapter.

6

Monitor

Polls open orders, fills, mark price, Greeks, P/L, and expiration risk.

7

Exit

Submits or prepares the closing order when profit target, stop, time stop, or event stop triggers.

Kill Switches

Stop all new entries after two rejected orders in a session.
Stop all new entries when daily realized plus open loss reaches 3% of account.
Cancel unfilled limit orders after the repricing window expires.
Block new trades during earnings, Fed decisions, or broker/API instability.
Require manual review before moving from paper dry-run to live order routing.

Broker Integration Notes

Do not screen scrape

Automated UI control is brittle and can create unintended orders. Keep paperMoney confirmation manual unless a supported broker API path is available.

Keep adapters isolated

Keep broker adapters isolated. Strategy logic should never call a broker directly.

Require dry-run parity

The manual ticket, SIM payload, and future live payload should be structurally identical except for the submission target.

Disclaimer: For education and paper-trading workflow design only. Options involve risk and are not suitable for all investors. This tool does not provide financial advice. Live broker order routing remains disabled unless a broker adapter and server-side submit gate are explicitly enabled.
