TraderGuard is recompiled as you asked.

You can test it with ANY symbol you want !
I also removed dapt.database from program to lower its size to 4.56MB
Just type any symbol into "symbol" text field and click connect.

You can download it from FILES area.. It is for as long as Scott will
allow it.

If not there please, use this link to get it.

Also, the screen shot (Form1) on photos belongs to which app?

Q: Is there any advantage to monitoring Ping time to the IB Server?

My thought is, If communication time exceeds 5000 ms then suspend the
trade invocation portion of the ATS until communication time delay is
more reasonable.

Your thoughts?

Yes, I have noticed this. It seems like Java 1.4 is
maybe a little more efficient in terms of memory.
However, I'm guessing that Sun did something to make
the Swing implementation "better" which in turn made
it slower. I still use Java 1.3.1. I seem to recall
somebody saying something that you needed Java 1.4 for
a certain new Swing construct. Not sure if this is
true. It seems to work for me using the old Java (and
it works faster).

Maybe the second method works too. I never used 40 or more symbols in
ReqMktData so I don?t know what kind of error message will appear if
the TWS checks for 40 symbols.

But maybe the TWS checks first for an invalid symbol regardless how
many symbols are in ReqMktData. Than it should allways work. You have
to try it out.

This method is easier than the first one.

thanks BeeJay.

it seems that your first method will work and i may change to your

the second one will work at the beginning. but i think there is a
limit of 40 symbols in reqMktData, as i read in other threads here.
it may fail some time later.

i'd suggest IB to raise an ErrMsg in this case.

That?s what I do when I call ReqMktData.

Is it just a program that creates a trailing stop?

I designed it for scalpers to profit from every

Ok

single trend change with "adaptive Automation Engine" monitoring

market tick by tick and in real time.
Your gonna have to explian this one.

You will love it.
It will automate your profit collection at the topmost
point and also auto-escape from bad point of entry. This
is what i like the most.

Automate, so how does it do this? Does it trade for me?
Whats this automation buisness.

Please explain this.

How or what is the best way to use it. How about an example

And what is your private email Mr. Traderguard.

Hey Mark,

I don't know what is causing your problem. However, I
just wanted to mention that in my programs,

m_pClient->checkMessages()

is called everytime there is an event and is not
associated with any timer. If you check out the
latest SocketClient source from IB, they do this too
(they changed this from earlier versions where the
checkMessages() was on a timer). On the latest TWS,
check out:

SocketClient/src/EclientSocket.cpp, line 647

Seems like this shouldn't help (and probably won't),
but I haven't had bad quote problems like the ones you
are experiencing. Are these bad quotes coming from
the demo TWS or the real thing (or both)?

Good luck,
Carl

I guess the first question is why do you turn off
your timer. I would
think that the only issue you could have is if your
processing of the
ticks would last more than 200ms and that's alot of
CPU cycles. But
your program works and my has problems so I would
like to understand
this better.

In my program I never turn off my Timer. In my timer
routine I call
m_pClient->checkMessages(); which I assume will call
the tickPrice and
tickSize events in my program for each stock that
has a new tick price
& size. After that I process the stocks with the new
price looking for
entry/exits/stops trades.

This is an example of the tick price I'm seeing from
BRCD. I see this
on all of the stocks that I'm monitering. Here is
what I saw tonight
with the times shown. Since the values are very
close together I'm
assuming I must be doing something wrong.

16:44:41 BRCD Out of Range Price = -1.000009
17:05:53 BRCD Out of Range Price = -1.000016
17:10:33 BRCD Out of Range Price = -1.000018
17:18:20 BRCM Out of Range Price = -1.000099

Thanks,
Mark

I dont know how you handle your quotes and sizes

so I can't help.

The way in which I handle them is through the use

of a 'one shoot'
timer of

200 ms. In my tickPrice event I update a variable

LastPrice = price
and

enable the timer. In my tickSize event I update a

variable LastSize
= size

and also enable the timer if it is not. Then in

the Timer.Timer
event I

disable the timer and do the job with LastPrice

and LastSize.

This way I allow a 200ms. time window after every

price or size
event to

wait for the second event (size or price) to

update the other
variable and

if the second event dont comes, simply the other

variable is
unchanged when

I use them in my Timer.timer event.

Tbanks for the reply. Thanks what I'm doing with

the 0 price
quotes,

throwing them away. I didn't mention that I'm

also getting what
seems

to be quotes that non zero but incorrect. So I'm

trying to filter

with some type of algrothrim so I don't get

caught executing a bad

something I'm doing

incorrectly with my interface to TWS.

I don?t have this problem but maybe you can do this:

When you place an order with an order id 12345 and an invalid symbol
(ex. "XYZ") than you get no error message and NO ORDERSTATUS. So if
you don?t get an ORDERSTATUS for the order id 12345 within a certain

I filter for zero last price, ask and bid price in both the data

understand stocks have had some quote problems.

As I view it, there are 2 kinds of bad ticks that happen - single

bad

ticks and clumps of bad ticks. To get rid of single bad ticks, just
make sure that if you get a tick that is outside your tolerance
range, like greater than +/- 2% or 5%%, and if the next tick is

back

inside your desired range, you have a high probability that it was

a

bad tick.

You can make the assumption that clumps of bad ticks are actually
good ticks. Or you could pop up a dialog that would warn of

possible

bad ticks and whether or not to filter. It is not an exact science
with stocks because if you get a harmonic alignment between the
exchange and a market maker or other large influential party who

made

a mistake, hundreds of trades can be busted, thus leading to "bad
ticks". But in this case you will only find out after the fact that
they were indeed bad ticks. So instead of tick filtration you will
need tick correction.

IF
the current price quote is greater than or less than the

quote by X% and the error counter is less than Y

THEN
throw away the quote and increment the error counter

ELSE
use the price quote and clear the error counter

The idea is to set some min and max % (i'm starting with 5%)

that

the

quote can be outside the previous quote. But to handle gaps, if

the

quote is out of range Y number of times (i'm starting with 5)

then

use

that new quote. Also I don't allow quotes that are a value of

zero

either.

Any thoughts would be helpful.
