The option confirmation requirement is a real problem for me also. I
didn't realize that the real problem is the option exchanges rules.
Can anyone come up with a screen scrapper that could see the popup
confirmations and automatically response to them?

Hi Jason. You may know this, but for others reading the above, it's
the option exchanges that don't allow automated option trading - IB
is just following their rules.
With respect to Java, I bet you actually get a lot of us avoiding
it
just because of the limitations we see in the Java-based TWS. In
other words, you can get an immediate edge over TWS just by not
using
Java (at the cost of cross-platform potential).
