Modify Order Without Transmit

#296

I am trying to modify an order without transmitting it.   However, TWS
transmits the order on the update, even with the Transmit property False.  I
am using VB with the ActiveX control, and the TWS demo for testing.  Here is
the scenario:

  o Call PlaceOrder to place a buy limit order, no transmit.  This works.
Let's say the order ID is 72.
  o Call PlaceOrder again with the same order ID (72), changing the limit
price, again with no transmit.  The limit price is changed in TWS, but TWS
transmits the order.

Any ideas?

Thanks

  A hack is to send keystrokes to the login window.
  Pass your username as separate keystrokes.  Then send
  a tab key.  Then send your password as separate
  keystrokes.  Then send a return.  There is a setting
  to pre-fill the username in the .ini file (sorry, no
  pre-fill for the password):

  [Logon]
  Username=edemo

  .
  .
  .

  If you pre-filled in the username you can just send a
  tab and then the password plus a return key.  I send
  characters to windows with Perl, but you can do it in
  almost any language (Visual Basic, C++).

  I believe you can detect when the "Accept incoming
  connection" window pops up.  If that is possible you
  might just be able to send the enter key to it to
  accept the connection.  I haven't tried this yet.

  Good luck,

TraderGuard- Important Message

traderguard

#285

I am honestly upset at some of the comments written about 
TraderGuard. It seems as though instead of checking the program's 
abilities and value, some are discussing irrelevant issues, such as 
the size of the program, speculations of hidden trojans, and other 
hidden agendas. Let me respond to some of those comments:

The demo version on the website is there to be tested and evaluated 
for those interested. It does not need to be tested on NQ or ES for 
people to find out if this is a usefull tool or worthless crap. 

TraderGuard consumes resources because it's actually working to cover 
your butt. Yes, it's a black box with no documentation BECASUE..as 
you should already know by now, I haven't had time to do it. I was 
looking for user feedback so the next version of the program would 
include FAQ. Yes, it tries to overwrite OCX, but it in no way shape 
or form affects the program's real time performance. 

Enough with the unconstuctive criticisms. Now to the other side of 
the coin. Thanks to all those who responded with enthusiasm, 
complementing TG's features. Yes, I will make sure that you get the 
new updates as I am making improvements. AS far as timing...it's 
real time...no delays. I will make the buttons bigger if you really 
want that. GE, ES, and NQ are not the only symbols...With the FULL 
Version you can type in and trade any symbol you like as long as you 
receive data via IB TWS. Yes, autosale will disable itself if you 
uncheck the checkbox. There is no safe point of entry...it's up to 
you to decide when you jump into a trade. I was not planning to write 
the impossible. If I could do that, I would write a program to show a 
chart of tomorrow today.

There is an entry in the IB board that addresses this. The solution is to send a carriage return event to the dialog box when it pops up. The trick is knowing which window(dialog box) to send it to. His solution was to find a window with a certain name (TWS_whatever), meaning he would search for 60 seconds, then send a CR to that window. Check out the IB board about a week or two back. Kevin

Re: automated login

bee_jay_61

#277

In my program I have automated the "Logon"- and "Accept incomming.."-
Dialog.

For both dialogs I search the desired window. If the window isn?t
found within 60 seconds the function stops. So my program will never
hang if the TWS window doesn?t appear for any reason.

I use the following Delphi Code to find the "Accept incomming.."
Dialog:

function EnumWinProc(WinHandle: HWND; lParam: LPARAM): boolean;
StdCall;
var
  szName: array[0..512] of char;
begin
  Result := True;
  GetClassName(WinHandle, szName, 255);
  if UpperCase(szName) = 'SUNAWTDIALOG' then begin
    GetWindowText(WinHandle, szName, 255);
    if UpperCase(szName) = 'TRADER WORKSTATION' then begin
       if IsWindowVisible(WinHandle) then begin
         TwsWindow := WinHandle;
         Result  := False;
       end;
    end;
  end;
end;

For the "Logon"_Dialog you have to search for classname "SUNAWTFRAME" 
and windowtext "NEW LOGIN".

When the window is found then I sent a "Carriage Return" to
the "Accept incomming connection attempt"-Dialog or twice a "Tab" and
a "Carriage Return" to the "Logon"-Dialog.

To find out if there is any easy way (of corse you can pre-fill the
fields by sending the values for Username and Password in the same
way like "Carriage Return" and "Tab") to pre-fill the Username and
Password fields I decompiled the "Trader Workstation" (this is
possible because the TWS is written in JAVA).

I found the following code:


    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        if(args.length < 1)
        {
            System.out.println("USAGE: java jclient.LoginFrame
srcDir");
            System.out.println("       --- or ---");
            System.out.println("       java -jar jts.jar srcDir");
            System.exit(0);
        }
        Thread.currentThread().setName("JTS-Main");
        String s = args[0] + System.getProperty("file.separator");
        System.setProperty("srcDir", s);
        String s1 = System.getProperty("srcDir") + "jts.ini";
        a(s);
        String s2 = new String();
        fl fl1 = new fl();
        er er1 = new er(fl1, "Communication", "Peer", null);
        er er2 = new er(fl1, "Communication", "LocalPort", 0);
        er er3 = new er(fl1, "Communication", "ShouldClose", true);
        er er4 = new er(fl1, "Logon", "Username", "");
        er er5 = new er(fl1, "Logon", "Password", "");
        er er6 = new er(fl1, "Communication", "Debug", false);
        er er7 = new er(fl1, "GUI", "LookAndFeel", "Metal");
        er er8 = new er(fl1, "Communication", "Compression", true);
        er er9 = new er(fl1, "Logon", "UseAnotherEncryption", false);
        if(!fl1.a(s1))
        {
            ek.b(null, "jts.ini file could not be read");
            return;
        }
        String s4 = er1.a();
        if(s4 == null)
        {
            ek.b(null, "No peer entry in jts.ini file");
            return;
        }
        int i = s4.indexOf(':');
        if(i == -1)
        {
            ek.b(null, "Invalid peer entry in jts.ini file");
            return;
        } else
        {
            String s3 = s4.substring(0, i);
            int j = Integer.parseInt(s4.substring(i + 1));
            int k = er2.b();
            boolean flag = er3.c();
            go go1 = new go(s3, j, k, er4.a(), er5.a(), false, flag,
null, er6.c(), er7.a(), er8.c(), er9.c());
            go1.setLocation(400, 200);
            go1.setTitle("New Login");
            go1.setSize(250, 174);
            go1.setDefaultCloseOperation(2);
            go1.show();
            return;
        }


So I add the following to the JTS.INI file to pre-fill UserName and
Password:

[Logon]
Username=edemo
Password=demouser


I do add these lines from my program every time before I start the
TWS with "ShellExecute" because I have more than one user.


All this works fine for me.

There is an entry in the IB board that addresses this. The solution
is to send a carriage return event to the dialog box when it popsup.
The trick is knowing which window(dialog box) to send it to. His
solution was to find a window with a certain name (TWS_whatever),
meaning he would search for 60 seconds, then send a CR to that
window. Check out the IB board about a week or two back.

If you could keep TWS running 24/7 and login automatically, thenIB
wouldn't be able to differentiate its professional service (which
requires $2400 minimum commission per month.)  An unfortunate
situation for us TWS users who want to do a little bit more.

I don't know how...

It really is anoying they don't give us a security server topass 
through. Seems so archaic to have to have a TWS open for eachaccount
we log on to...
