Re: Sockets based trading program, which language to use, C#,Java,C++ ?

Glad it worked out for you.
All of the 'paradigm' talk kind of freaks me out though. In my
library twsGetMsg() returns a pointer to a union that has all
messages defined. So Msg->TickPrice.Price is a tick price and
Msg->OrderStatus.OrderId is an order id. Just put twsGetMsg() in
a loop and process the messages as they come in. Hard to see how it
can get any simpler than that.

Thanks for the advice!
I'm using C# for sockets.??? After going though most of
RHolowczak's tutorials and reading/experimenting with the
IB API, especially 9.72, C# looks like the easiest
language for me to use.? I pretty comfortable with C# and
it's Delegate/Event paradigm is easier, for me, to
understand and implement than Java's
Interface/Event/Listener method.????
The C# API is not as clean as Java's in 9.71; but,IB seems
to be merging the code bases to a consistent method/model
with 9.72.??? And, I've co-opted their (IB's) SampleApp,
under 9.72, Delegate/Event model to make my own GUI for
trading. ?? I liked the ActiveX model, but it doesn't work
consistently. ??
Thanks Again,
John
