Re: twsapi: Java API
yep, I am pretty sure that all that requestData() does
is read data that has arrived from TWS, and call the
appropriate EWrapper member function for tickPrice
etc.
If it was async, there would be no

AW: twsapi: Java API
You should look at EClientSocket.java:
It spawns an asynchronous thread with
tm_reader = new EReader( this, dis);
The wrapper functions are called from this thread whenever a message is
received

Re: twsapi: Java API
So you are saying tickPrice, tickSize etc. are guaranteed to happen
by the time requestData() returns ? I thought tickPrice etc. were
completely asynchronous.

Re: twsapi: Java API
btw,
Have you been able to call connect, and then call
disconnect and then call connect again? The second
call to connect always seems to cause an exception
inside the API, for me anyway.

Re: twsapi: Java API
I believe that the callbacks only occur during a call
to requestData().
In my initial testing I used Sleep with no problem. I
now have Windows sending a WM_TIMER message to my apps

Re: twsapi: Java API
Yeah, I tried that and got exceptions. The problem might be that when
you sleep the whole thread is put to sleep, so the event tickprice
etc. callbacks can't happen. So, a regular sleep might not

Re: updateExtended(), extended properties, etc, etc
Mick,
I havn't gotten to that point in my work, but perhaps ultimately OCA
is not server sided? In other words the TWS manages internally a
marker...that ostensibly is sent back and forth, but all

Once Again. Use the ActiveX properties to set OCA, TIF and Transmit.
The ActiveX is written in C++ and uses then WinSocket API. Look at
the C++ API for more information.

Thanks Elliot,
However, I have read the TWS docs and understand the purpose of OCA.
That was never the question. The placeOrder() method doesn't include
in its declaration a variable for sending an

Re: twsapi: Java API
I am not familiar with Java, but you need some sort of
system call Sleep(int timeout_msecs), so that the
process blocks until the timeout occurs. This
functionality is provided by the OS.

Re: twsapi: Re: VB and ActiveX....updateExtended() Method????
As with many features, OCA functionality is parallel in the API and the GUI,
so reading the TWS docs on this would be a good idea.
The OCA string is an identifier assigned by you to group orders

Re: VB and ActiveX....updateExtended() Method????
The IB documentation for OCA orders via the TWS API is pretty thin.
The only thing I can find is that the string OCA property "identifies
an OCA group."
Does anyone know how to go about actually

You can set TIF, OCA, Transmit etc. directy. These are the ActiveX
