weekend auto re-connect behavior - 12/06/14 17:55
Hi again
When Zorro in [Trade] mode encounters a Weekend, it sits idle until trading resumes. I imagine it keeps retrying the connection to the broker periodically.
However, there is no way to get Zorro into this state once you are already inside a weekend period. Zorro tries to connect to the broker only once. This leads to a dilemma. Human intervention will need to happen to get Trade to resume as soon as possible. The timing is tricky. Some trades may be missed.
Feature request: pressing [Trade] during a weekend puts Zorro in the same state as if it had naturally encountered the weekend.
