Thanks Scott... The question is mainly with the MetaServer Demo and what exact informationone mustput into itfor IB DDE to be linking and MetaServer Demo to be capturing the data, which then I can pass to the TS2000i GlobalServer (TradeStation)....
In fact, I cannot also get the TWS Excel s/s DDE to link and work with IB's DAX Futures data, but that is another question, which I asked IB... and as yet no reply whatever....
If anyone knows what needs to be put into the TWS Excel s/s DDE cell to display the IB's DAX Futures data, that toowould be most appreciated.

I did not follow DAX until now, but, now I entered DAX in TWSDde.xls DAX-200209). Under exchange, I typed DTB. I requested data and it is showing quotes and the quotes are changing. Did you use DTB exchange?

I also try to get metaserver working but I don't know how to configure
it for TWS too.

However in excel is no problem.
make sure you enable DDE and ActiveX in TWS settings
start the TWSDDE.xls in C:\jts\excel
allow excel to run macro's
Go to the tab tickers
on line 5 put in your IB username
type in Symbol AX in type FUT and Exchange DTB
put the cursor in the field AX push the button reguest market data in
line row 2 and ...... presto DAX data

But now the solution for Tradestation via metaserver......

Re: twsapi: Charting App using TWS price feed

BTW, just checking through the JTS.TXT file and it records that "Security definition request returned 0 items for ticker id 4" .... it's as if DDE is sending some request to TWS --- and when I request for data to which I have not subscribed, I get an error in TWS, so that shows me that I am communicating from EXCEL to TWS --- but the information is somehow returning a null/zeros.... is it maybe a timestamp? or the Expiry? or the symbol is wrong--- but then, would that not return an error?
I also tried EUREX for Exchange, and still only get back zeros.... I am baffled.....

Re: Java API, ordering question

usernew
 

I have read the APIs but I am still not sure how things work hence
these questions.

When I submit an order of type MKT, it will sell stocks at whatever
the market bid price happens to be when I submit the order ? and it
will buy stocks at whatever the market ask price happens to be ?

Also, I am still curious about what happens if it is not able to find
all the stocks I am requesting at one price. I assume it will do
partial fills with different prices. I can tell this because there is
the average price coming in to orderStatus() event. Is it possible to
tell how many of the stocks were purchased at what price without
doing any guessing ?

Thanks.

Market Order Price Values are ignored or not required...

A proper MKT order call looks like this in a literal sense:

Call PlaceNewOrder("BUY", 1, "ES", "FUT", "200209",
0, "", "GLOBEX", "", "MKT", 0, 0)

This is a MKT order call for one contract of September ES on the
Globex Exchange. Of course one can use variables of proper type in
lieu of literals...

In order to asses the results of your Market Order you will need to
use: Call reqExecutions

The data will then be fed back through the openOrder1(), openOrder2
(), and orderStatus() Events where they can be captured, analyzed
and
diseminated...

Begin by reading the TWS API help files. Though brief in nature,
they
are concise and indespensible in understanding how all of the
events
and methods tie together...

When I say qty=500, and market order type, price = 20.00,
how does IB fulfill the order if it is not able to find all 500
shares at 20.00 ? How will I know the prices at which different
portions were bought ? What else should I be careful of while
using
MKT order type.

Thanks.

I also try to get metaserver working but I don't know how to configure
it for TWS too.

However in excel is no problem.
make sure you enable DDE and ActiveX in TWS settings
start the TWSDDE.xls in C:&#92;jts&#92;excel
allow excel to run macro's
Go to the tab tickers
on line 5 put in your IB username
type in Symbol AX in type FUT and Exchange DTB
put the cursor in the field AX push the button reguest market data in
line row 2 and ...... presto DAX data

But now the solution for Tradestation via metaserver......

Re: Java API, ordering question

marinindextrader
 

Market Order Price Values are ignored or not required...

A proper MKT order call looks like this in a literal sense:

Call PlaceNewOrder("BUY", 1, "ES", "FUT", "200209",
0, "", "GLOBEX", "", "MKT", 0, 0)

This is a MKT order call for one contract of September ES on the
Globex Exchange. Of course one can use variables of proper type in
lieu of literals...

In order to asses the results of your Market Order you will need to
use: Call reqExecutions

The data will then be fed back through the openOrder1(), openOrder2
(), and orderStatus() Events where they can be captured, analyzed and
diseminated...

Begin by reading the TWS API help files. Though brief in nature, they
are concise and indespensible in understanding how all of the events
and methods tie together...

Events Syntax:


X_Other/activexevents.htm

Methods Syntax:


X_Other/activexmethods.htm

Properties Syntax:


X_Other/activexproperties.htm

Re: New File: VB Qcharts sample project. Includes login, and sample chart.

marinindextrader
 

Jerry,

I am just getting going with this and the screen flicker brought on
by the Paint event is very irritating...seeing as .refresh calls
paint on every tick...

I am working on capturing the recordset in an array. Then I want to
mark a new period event somehow. That way, the repaint only needs to
fire on a period change, and not on each tick...I want the data
change event for the recordset to only be two elements long after the
original array is captured on symbol entry...then all i need to do is
change the lead shape (candelstick)...and keep the second element
ready to apend the storage array lead on "that" period change event...

Will keep ya posted and more than likely update that code at some
point in the future...
