This might come as a shock to some but....

I pulled his file and pulled his last 4 posts.

Originally "he" (no name) gave a link to an
application download that was 24 mb's in size, and attempted to
overwrite critical files necessary for the proper use of TWS and
common in VB applications (OCX).

The application was restricted to the use of a single symbol and "he"
wanted $150 to unlock it. It had absolutley no documentation as to
what it did..It was a black box program with no explanations
whatsoever.

After I examined his software, and uninstalled it, it attempted to
remove the TWS OCX from my system.

The second version that was released in less then 24 hours, had been
reduced to 4.5 MB...and "he" had unlocked the symbols restriction.

"He" uploaded it this time to our members files area, and once again
I downloaded an examined it. The installation process again attempted
to overwrite key ocx files. Once installed I ran the executable and
got a "subscript out of range error".

3 other members had immediatley posted errors as well, though not all
the same error.

I have no problem with members, who LIKE TODD made an announcement
and has well documented explanation pages that are very clear as to
what a program does. They are welcome to plug their product once and
then from time to time...they can plug again. They can post links in
the Third Party Bookmarks folder.

What I do have a problem with is are super-hyped, large bloated,
disfunctional applications, rushed to release, absent of
documentation as to method or use. I will refuse to allow our board
to turn into a product support board for for a product that needs
more than support...AND I have ZERO tollerance for a member that has
convienetley turned off mail receipts there by FORCING us to
communicate with him via the board....lastley, I find it astounding
that
a developer would offer a black box to other developers, and that
They would be interested....after all...don't we program because we
want more control over our trades, not less?

I told Mr TraderGuard in a private email, that his posts would be
moderated for only one week (one stinking week), and that he should
restrict his discussion to aspects of this board, or aspects related
to the use and implamentation the TWS API....

He hasn't been heard from since.

Their...I came clean....that is the first time I have actually
moderated anything...hopefully its the last...I feel so much better
now....

Well, there are two practical solutions.
First is to update jts.jar and recompile it (Which is not very
convinient). Second to handle it manualy via VB.

I already wrote a simple app, which handles login screen and
automatic acceptance of incoming connections.

If somebody need a tip, just let me know.

Hi,

Does somebody know some way to run the TWS application unattended?
What I need is:
1- Avoid the login screen, passing parameters (UserName and

Password) from

my calling application.

I think that handling UI automation inside the application is

superior

to anything you could do with VB or WinTask.

So, I just uploaded a file called AutoLoginWrapper.java. It is the
source for a tiny program that registers code to look for the Login
window opening, starts TWS, finds the Login button, and "presses"

it.

All of this inside the Java VM that is running TWS.

Eventually, I will get around to making it automatically accept
incoming connections as well. I'll also post a binary version and
some instructions on how to use it for those who can't figure it

out.

My question is to the moderator of this site.

I am a subscriber to this site and I have a problem.
I get messages from this site as emails. In these emails, you refer

to "files" section at the left hand side of the screen, but I do not
get a menu on the left hand side of the scree. Now, how can go to
your web site from my email to see these files you often talk about
in the email I receive?

Thanks.

Cool. The smaller the better. And keyboard input is clearly the
best for this purpose -- faster and less error prone than the mouse.


Thanks

If you're using charts then the trade software really needs only a
tiny bit of real estate to do it's job. Minimalism is important

here.

Just cut copy and paste his text...I dropped out of that group a
while ago...

I also stopped attempting to make IRT work the way I wanted it to...

IRT is a great application, its just that I didnt fit with it so I
moved on..

Does mike through his commentary imply that he is looking for someone
to develope a plugin for his software?

I would be surprised if no one has started this yet

Have Mike join our group and table a proposal...I am sure it would at
least provide for lively discussion

I agree, thanks for posting it. It certainly shows that package has
a long way to go. (My opinion, of course.)

I'm amazed at how many new programmers and new traders overlook the need
for economy of screen space. Most traders never have enough space for
everything they want to display.

If you're using charts then the trade software really needs only a
tiny bit of real estate to do it's job. Minimalism is important here.

Much can be learned from surveying the various tools available.

Some kind of verification of timely quotes is important. That's why
IB's lack of time-stamping is troubling. Perhaps if enough of us request
they add time stamps, they'll look into it.

Until IB adds some means of verification it seems the trader should
either do it manually, or have his software cross-check with another
data source.

Ping times don't tell you a whole lot -- unless the network connection
is really hosed. But automated system testing is generally a good idea.

TraderGuard is recompiled as you asked.

You can test it with ANY symbol you want !
I also removed dapt.database from program to lower its size to 4.56MB
Just type any symbol into "symbol" text field and click connect.

You can download it from FILES area.. It is for as long as Scott will
allow it.

If not there please, use this link to get it.
