Hi

Me too I still use Delphi.

Do you know the TIABSocket VCL?


Before I found this VCL, I wrote my own socket client for the TWS. Must be about 14 years ago. Cause lack of time I switched to TIABSocket VCL.

If you dont want to use TIABSocket, I can look for my code and send it to you. Was written for D5 and later for D6.

Hi

Nice stuff...

For now I'm trying with rwk to fix Delphi 6... but it's not looking good. :(

For the moment I don't need that much speed. And your solution with XML look great.

I gonna take a look at your suggestion.

Bye the way, is it possible to send direclty to IB an order via socket?

Thank you very much.

Thanks you all

There's an project on github that does (almost) all of this, implemented in C++ and uses XML to return values.It can work either cygwin under Windows (note Powershell has a nice XML parser) or linux. I found it a great resource to help me figure out what I wanted to do with the API and still use it for certain batch tasks (e.g. download historical data and as a secondary monitor of important account values)

Best bet is to add your localhost ip address to "Trusted connections" and/or the IP address of the host where your application is running. I outlined how to do this in my tutorial on downloading, installing and setting up the IB Gateway and IB API on Linux. (But generally, same concept applies to Windows as well).

I think most of us are bypassing the "Accept incoming connection request" dialog by specifying a trusted connection.? That is done on the TWS by clicking , , and <127.0.0.1> in Trusted IP Addresses for local loop.

I don't have an answer to your question but I have an alternative approach.

You always get a NextValidId event after you successfully connect so some people will just do nothing until they get NextValidId and then assume they are connected and continue with starting up the program.

Hi,
I'm playing around with the API and I have the following in my code (taken from

?

although it's failing in exactly the same way that my own code was failing before it):


?// Create a new EClientSocket object
??????????? client = new EClientSocket (this);
??????? // Connect to the TWS or IB Gateway application
??????? // Leave null for localhost
??????? // Port Number (should match TWS/IB Gateway configuration
??????? client.eConnect (null, 7496, 0);

??????? // Pause here for connection to complete
??????? try
??????? {
??????????? // Thread.sleep (1000);
??????????? while (! (client.isConnected()));
??????? }
??????? catch (Exception e)
??????? {
??????? }
??????? System.out.println("***CONNECTED***");

the last line - "CONNECTED" is being reached BEFORE I have responded to the "Accept incoming connection request" dialog box in TWS.
So, in a nutshell, the code thinks it's "connected" even though I haven't granted the connection request in TWS. The program then continues to do stuff by fails with an EOFException because it's not actually connected.

I don't understand why or how the API can think it's connected before I've granted the request.
Can anybody help me with this?
Thanks.

Thank you very much

厂迟é辫丑补苍别

Happy new year everyone.

I'm a newbie here and in a lot of things:

I have no experience except Delphi. Then learn python, c++ or java and IDE Eclipse and understand API, is a big piece at a time...

Anyone would be please to help me how to write 4 codes (server) regardless (java or c++ prefered) the language available in Eclipse doing that :

1 - Read a file with the order writen inside (example : Action =sell (buy or cancel or modify) Stock='IBM',share=100, LimitPrice=140.0000) and send it to IB ;

2 - Write a file with all the messages received form IB (example : Sell IBM 100 @ $140.0000 filled (accepted or rejected or modified) );

4 - Write a file with the account value and assets;

5 - Read a file with a live or historical data request to IB and write on a new file.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for response, but I asked for something different. I do have
Order reference column in a flex report, but with empty values.

I have found only one similar post. As I understand IB clears some data
including order reference for Flex Reports at midnight.

From Davqe drosen@...
"I am using the OrderReference field to store values for the strategies.
I have created a Flex Report for Trade Confirms that I run at the end of
each day to download the Trades with the Order Reference field
populated. (apparently they haven't found a way to keep that field for
more than a day). But, if I have trades after 5:30pm on Day 1, they are
part of the report that gets run at the end of Day 2 (basically doing it
as session days as opposed to calendar days). This is the behavior I
would expect and want. Except, the orders placed on the previous
calendar day (but part of the current session day) don't maintain the
Order Reference information in the Flex Reports. I verified this with IB
Support. It appears for some reason they reset that value around
midnight in some portion of their system that is read for Flex Reports,
though it is kept in the Trade Log I see in TWS from previous days.

I like the Flex Report because I can easily automate without having to
create a new application to extract information via the API.

Anyone have insight into how they are tracking the information they
wouldn't mind sharing?"

"to build a simple Excel spreadsheet that pulls live data from IB"...

I built a TWS quote monitor page utilizing the fields I wished to use in an OpenOffice Calc spreadsheet, and periodically export that data to a .CSV file, for copy/paste into OO_Calc. My "project" -- much as you have described -- is to develop a Java application to print an .XML file in real time, to which OO_Calc can be (easily!!) attached. (I got some very compassionate offers of assistance, but what I thought was a "time-out" to put a little more polish on the spreadsheet ended up to be a real scrub-up/"next level" sort of campaign, with which I'm *only now,* just about, done....!!! Woot! "Phew!")

You could do about the same thing (spreadsheet-with-RTdata-front-end), by running your .CSV-eating spreadsheet through this guy's

?

or even his

?

He gets good reviews (for software and for service) on the IB website and on EliteTrader.com, and (I think) is a regular TWSAPI reader, so he may have responded to you offlist.

But first, I would go with the "Hey! Hit IB's DDE webinar, first!" advice, if you hadn't already. If you *wish* to deal with DDE, it really is a pretty trivial matter for Excel. FWIW, though, I would *not* go with DDE, as its use was limited, and therefore its lifespan will be, too. Not where I'd want to be, when the lights go out.
