Subject: twsapi: Order Entry System using IB (TWS) and ESignal (WinRos)

Hi members.
Due to the timelag the QCharts Datafeed experiences especially the first and last 30 minutes of trading, I'm considering using the ESignal Datafeed for my Order Entry System.
The ESignal Datafeed can be accessed through a DDE-call to Winros.exe (The Datamanger from ESignal).
Due to my only modest programming skills and since I've used 'till today only Active-X applications I'm at
a loss how to program the VB DDE-call to Winros, to get streaming realtime data for select Futures.
I don't need the exact calls to Winros, the general description of a DDE call from VB would be sufficient.
In Excel the call would be: =winros|key!symbol
with key = Last, High, Low, Volume ...
Perhaps someone could help.
Thanks.

Bruce,

You need to trap the Error Message EVENT.

Private Sub Tws1_errMsg(ByVal str As String)
Text1.Text = str
End Sub

The event ostensibly is generated by TWS in response to client (you)
events or perhaps a server sided event.

The error messages are fed back to you and can be captured and
diseminated if you put some code in the errMsg EVENT.

If you are on your main form code window(the one that has the Active-
X on it), you can expose all of the events of the TWS control by
setting your cursor in a an Event that is present on your form, and
then browsing the right hand drop down combo box at the top right of
your code form.

For instance set your editor cursor inside of the tickPrice event.
Drop the combo down and click on the errMsg event.

The event is dropped on the code editor. Inside of that just trap the
string by setting a string type variable = to the str Message.

Then what you do with it is your own making.

Hi,

I have been working (struggling) with a VB based standalone prog.

to enter orders to TWS. I had it at a

point where after my initial order was filled my stop would be sent

out. Anyway at some point I lost my price data.

I have been over the code seems to match a previous version that I

would get price data with.

On to my question is there a way to get the various errors that

can be generated (already connected, duplicate ID, etc,)

into my program. I have tried using the code for the Excel

spreadsheet but I am not doing it right.

Thanks for your response,

Bruce

So thats strange that openorders are only sent one time at

connect?

How about during the session when you create new orders...Don't we

You get the status of new orders via the orderstatus callbacks.
There can be a signficant time delay between sending the order, and
getting it's status back to let you know it's actually been
accepted. If you modify the order during this period (ie a trailing
stop), you will generate errors.

Thanks for the replies.

need to make sure that TWS has the correct stop prices? they should
fix this.

Also, before this past weekend I had never used visual basic before
(I'm not a programmer at all) and I've already got a functioning app
that I prefer over TWS. I just am now trying to work out my
automated stops.

Scott, can you post an example for autostops in the file section?

I already know the logic I'm going to use, I just need work on my
coding syntax, etc.

All I want is to get my current stop price of the working order.

To do that, you have to remember the price of the order when you

sent

it in. None of the reqOrder stuff works, except to give you the

list

of orders already open when it starts up. After that, you are on
your own, remember what you send, cuz TWS isn't gonna tell you.

It's been totally non functional here from about 8:30 pacific time
(11:30 est) till about half an hour after the market opens, for the
last couple of days.

It works only once after you connect to tws. Every subsequent requests
are disregarded.

How should I compute commission for a trade ?

On IB website this is what I saw:
U.S. Markets
(All transaction fees and order types included)
Stocks: $0.01/Share <=500
$0.005/Share >500 (Incremental)
$0.02/VWAP Share
Options: $1.00/Contract
Futures: $2.40/Contract
$2.95/NYMEX Contract

I am doing MKT, STK trading. So, this means, if I buy 100 shares of
something and lets say MKT price is $1/share and my account balance
is $200, the total commission will be $1 and the account balance
should be $99 after the purchase ?

Thanks.

Bit off subject but....

Does anyone have a collection of Financial Theme ICO files they have
collected over time they might be willing to share for use in toolbar
controls?

Candelstick Chart MSH ICO would be killer.

Have you tried a re-install? of a prior version?
I have declined any recent upgrade attempts.

No.

Anyone may log on to cdemo (commodities demo) or edemo (equities
demo) using the passwrod "demouser"

That's a step in the right direction, but is there no built in
function in VB? It seems ridiculous that it would be left out.

If you don't see it in the help file it probably doesn't exist. Keep in mind VB is a general programming language not a financial or mathematical tool.

Try searching msdn.microsoft.com for more info.

That's a step in the right direction, but is there no built in
function in VB? It seems ridiculous that it would be left out.

Unfortunately, looking at this document it seems that the magnitude
of error is inversely correlated to the distance from the mean.
Which is the exact opposite of the error in Black Scholes (my
intended purpose) which means the two errors would be enormous when
put together.

Does anyone else know? Has anyone ever built an option calculator
in VB before?

Thanks.

The computation of the area under the normal curve requires a
numerical solution of the error function and can represent hundreds
of lines of computer code. To facilitate the computation of this

area

for probability determinations when a computer or tabulated values
are not available, the following approximation can be used with

very

good results to calculate the area from a z-score of zero to the
absolute value of the desired z-score z:

Area = K * sqrt[1 - e^(-(z^2)/2)]

where

K = 0.5 + [1/sqrt(Pi) - 0.5] * [e^(-(z^2)/sqrt(2*Pi))]

hi

From last day , tws demo is not showing any price.
Is this problem is with every one?

If somebody nkows about it, please tell it
