Live order execution

Might be a generic topic ... nonetheless, I would like to better understand:

  1. Is there a best practice guide in terms of live execution ... or switching from a backtest setup into a orders generation / execution ...

  2. There is always the manual way ... run it end of day, check for delta's, push orders ... still would like to believe there is a better way to do this.

  3. Other platforms clearly distinguish between backtest / historical data analysis and real-time / live-data analysis and execution ... how does AmiBroker tackle this aspect?

Thanks!
