My sens is that the current
nature of IB is to provide two tools which either can be
run.
One is a headful client
cumbersmoe and poor UI called TWI and the other is a
thinner client.
But that NEITHER of these can
be programmed to?
?a) autostart at system boot
(I run my clients on AWS and need absolutely no U/I.
? ? ?It is all done in CLI,
with NO DESKTOP, to AUTOMATE it.
?b) NEVER require human
interaction for the server to authenticate and login to
the
? ? ?IB sservers to make paper
and cash trades
?c) avoid a ¡°Sunday required
U/I human login¡± - what is that? It went out in the
1970¡¯s¡
My sense is that IB is
backwards on the above, does not provide a mechanism for
serverless auto-login password
WITHOUT mouse, keyboard, etc. but potentially
with the account + password
sitting in a file, run automatically by a Unix/Linux (I
use
Ubuntu) daemon, and doing the
automation needful with HANDS-OFF.
Please correct me if my above
perception is correct or incorrect and then the next
question
is why possibly IB would not
correct the above and take the final step to automate it
all
the way out. This is supposed
to be a platform to automate both paper and cash trading
to fully remove emotion and
human activity from most market decisions about what to
buy
and sell, when to do so, for
improved performance.
The best analogy is , , and other
platforms
which do ALL the selection and
analysis robotically, the rebanacing robotically, and
minimize all
human error, as the markets
are too error-prone for humans to be in may confer extra
security
in situations requiring
robotic, boring, precise analysis and actions taken.
Pardon for the length of this
question but I never got what think is a bottom line
answer from
this list for the above
