I am making a better order entry tool for IB intraday traders. Way
better considering my competition at this point...IB TWS
I am a loyal customer of IB and there exists no device to accomplish
what I want to do. Only a method. I am implamenting that method and
it will precipitate into the device I seek.
In the process I will produce a piece of software that now does not
exist free or commercially. I have several friends who use IB for
trading ES and NQ. They wait with great anticipation of this
software...
It is that simple.
As to retrieving market data, I am pulling it in from Qcharts via
Active X...
I don't use that data other than for a x-ref in a display at this
point. I am a discretionary trader.
As a bonus, I enjoy programing and the challenges and opportunity it
affords.
When I am done and I have beta'd the software with a few other guinea
pigs, and someone wants to pay me for my effort...that would be
iceing on the cake....

I would like to know what you are using the API for. Why did you
decide to
make something on your own instead of using some existing solution?
What
should be the pro?s of your solution versus the exiting solutions?
-Are you retrieving the market data? (As you could do it with
eSignal, for
example)
-Are you retrieving the market data and make some rather complex
calculations with it?
(as you could probably do it with tradestation or wealth-lab)
-Are you developing a different or better order entry tool?
Did you look into other order entry tools, like Jerry Medved?s
Quotetracker, CyberX2, Cybertrader Pro, Datek?s Tools, Realtick, ..?
-Are you developing an automated trading solution?
I couldn?t find an existing stock trading solution for several
stocks.

Betreff: [twsapi] XLS DDE, C++, Delphi: Can Someone Post A Sample
Project
Please?
Build it and they will come....
We need someone who is fluent in the use of TWS-OCX to build a
single
sheet project in the above languages
It need do nothing more than log in, and retrieve a single user
symbols data set and print the price to a cell or label.
There are many many people who are begging for demonstration
projects
like this.
I posted one in VB in the files section of this board. We need the
other languages done....
We need one for XLS-VBA DDE, C++ OCX, and Delphi too.
When the inevitable clamour begins, we can simply point them at
these
files as a resource...
Consider it a contribution to humanity..
I will be posting a second VB project that uses MSHFlexGrid and
demonstrates in cell editing, and the display of the full data
set in
a row...
