Poll Suggestion _ Request IB to provide ...

techguy1313
 

I would like to suggest a poll:

Would you like to Request / Petition IB to make a fully viable Paper
Trading Server which will run on delayed data 24 / 7 for the purposes
of Trading System testing? (or something similar - the wording could
vary)

Currently trades instigated on the IB Demo server evaporate when the
server shuts down. The responsibility of tracking trades for the
purpose of Trading System testing resides with the User on the Client
side.

Wouldn't it be nice if IB provided it's customers with a fully closed
loop ATS server for the purposes of ATS fine tuning and System
testing? Email confimration, etc...

Your thoughts solicited.

Techguy
TraderGuard or similar

Hi,

Is Tradeguard an Automated buy/sell programe? That can work by it self ?for long time buying /selling on pre-set rule?

Any other such software available (and that works) on Internet?

Are they reliable?

?

Thanks

Yep, $150 is pretty ridiculous. Especially when there are other
packages that do much more for that price.

And yes, the enormous size is an indicator that the programmer doesn't
know what he's doing.

Once the API matures (comes out of beta) there will no doubt be many
such packages. And many will be free and with source code so the user
can adapt them to their needs, and be able to trust the code.

Re: Modify Order Without Transmit

marinindextrader
 

The place order call need not be called then.

When you are using the standard TWS, and you craft up an order on the
grid, that order is nothing more than an array in a memory slot
somewhere.

When you tag the transmit button it is then sent. Internally the TWS
has executed the place order call.

If what you want to do is emulate this behaviour, then create an 2
dimensional variant array in memory, and store your unsent but ready
to go orders. You can display this information however you see fit:
grids, labels etc...

Then like in TWS, you selected the displayed order and give it focus,
and then you send it with a transmit command.

Hope this helps

Scott

That?s why I start a new separate thread in my program to confirm
the "Accept incomming connection attempt" dialog.

First I start the thread that searches the window for about 60
seconds (or more if you need). Than I call TWS.Connect from the main
thread while the child thread has allready began his search.

This call will force the TWS to display the dialog and than the child
thread can find this window. So the main thread (main program) is
never blocked like in your case.

It is not a security feature from IB.

I've tried it in VB but it does not work. I've not tried it with
the login
window but with the 'connection confirmation' window there are
various
problems.
In my code, first I pass the focus to TWS (AppActivate) and then I
try to
send it keys (SendKey) (ENTER key in this case).
First problem is when in your code you issue a connection command
(ActiveX.connect), TWS seems to catch you in a program loop and
dont return
to your calling program until you manually click 'Yes' or 'No' in
this
window so any code after 'connect' (AppActivate and SendKeys),
simply dont
execute.
To turn around this problem, I made a separate litle application
(IBActivation.exe) which simply makes this:
1- Tempo 1 second.
2- AppActivate "Stock and options..." (this is the title of the TWS
window)
3- Tempo 1 second.
4- SendKeys "{ENTER}"
Then in my main code:
ShellExecute "IBActivation.exe"
TWS.connect
... and get a system error when IBActivation.exe tries to activate
and/or
send keys. (It works if TWS is runing normally, but not when
presenting the
'connection confirmation' window)!
So I thought this behaviour was implemented by IB for some security
reason
to be sure that a connection to the program is really made by the
account
owner. (There is a security problem if you automate login and
connection
because everybody having your program or access to your PC can
connect to
your account).

Here I am...
I'll try this for the login window and post results here.

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

accept the connection. I haven't tried this yet.

Are you sure there is no pre-fill in? I just tried it with password
field added such as the following example (:

[Logon]
Username=pfloyd5
Password=darkside

and it worked.

This is the jts.ini file in the \jts directory.
TraderGuard- Important Message

traderguard
 

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.

If you could keep TWS running 24/7 and login automatically, then IB
