about me: I'm a professional java developer with over 9 years of
total software development, 5 years exclusively in java and related
technologies. This includes banking systems, dept of defense, and
more - very large real world complex systems.
I used to daytrade during my down time (few days to few months), but
now I mostly trade options for time periods ranging from 1-3 weeks.
I've written my own analysis software, etc. After I put on a trade,
my primary concern is follow-up strategy when a trade goes wrong. I
wrote software to do this as well, as there was a lot of different
variables that went into it. I just now discovered that TWS gives a
java api, so I'm rebuilding my system and hooking it up to IB.
Unfortunately, i hear options trigger TWS pop-ups so i can't have a
true program trading platform in place :(
if anyone wishes to come to the dark side (java), I'd be happy to
help them out :)
