Re: [amibroker] Re: Buying at open -- In Real Life

IB allows you to automate buying at open (set Time In Force to "OPG") or with delay (set Good After Time to 9:40, for example). 
I have tried both, and found my system got better fills at open. (IB can get you the exact open prices in most cases.)

  IB has an Market Time order of OPG which you have to find somewhere in
  the details and "turn it on" so you can select it instead of MKT, GTC,
  etc. It gets you very very close to the real open price. Some exchanges
  are better than others, but it works quite well.

  Now, I have no idea how IB might perform in a similar trading system,
  but I don't think there is a way to restrict pre - post mkt executions
  @ IB.
