My question is to the moderator of this site.
?
I am a subscriber to this site and I have a problem.
I get messages from this site as emails. In these emails, you refer to "files" section at the left hand side of the screen, but I do not get a menu on the left hand side of the scree. Now, how can go to your web site from my email to see these files you often talk about in the email I receive?
Thanks.

I uploaded a couple of screen shots of the order entry software I'm
using/developing. You can see it in the Photos section under the
Profit Pro Order Entry Tool Screen Shots folder. For even more screen
economy, the menu and caption toggle hidden/visible with a keystroke
(CTRL-Z). All the buttons are accessible via the keyboard.

I'm neither selling nor giving away this program or its source code.
I'm just sharing the screen shots for now.


Re: Investor RT / IB Interface - a small clarification.

Just cut copy and paste his text...I dropped out of that group a
while ago...

I also stopped attempting to make IRT work the way I wanted it to...

IRT is a great application, its just that I didnt fit with it so I
moved on..

Does mike through his commentary imply that he is looking for someone
to develope a plugin for his software?

I would be surprised if no one has started this yet

Have Mike join our group and table a proposal...I am sure it would at
least provide for lively discussion

I agree, thanks for posting it. It certainly shows that package has
a long way to go. (My opinion, of course.)

I'm amazed at how many new programmers and new traders overlook the need
for economy of screen space. Most traders never have enough space for
everything they want to display.

If you're using charts then the trade software really needs only a
tiny bit of real estate to do it's job. Minimalism is important here.

Much can be learned from surveying the various tools available.

Some kind of verification of timely quotes is important. That's why
IB's lack of time-stamping is troubling. Perhaps if enough of us request
they add time stamps, they'll look into it.

Until IB adds some means of verification it seems the trader should
either do it manually, or have his software cross-check with another
data source.

Ping times don't tell you a whole lot -- unless the network connection
is really hosed. But automated system testing is generally a good idea.

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.

TWS_orderStatus

Robert Carey
 

开云体育

My VB6/Win98 2ed application auto trades US equities with IB's ActiveX api. I observed that the position size in my system was frequently double what was intended.
I traced?that bug in my application back to it's source.
TWS_orderStatus frequently throws 2 replies to one trade. Each has the same data for price and size. There have been no partial fills.
I reported this to IB on 7/3.
I wrote a fix in which my interface to TWS api keeps track of order sizes and their changes. It blocks reporting the second twitch to the rest of my application.
Watch out for this bug. It will send your app into a tizzy.

I also reverted to 1.3.1 and I remember having a message box from TWS needing 1.4 for something but I can't remember what...

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).

Re: Invalid symbols

bee_jay_61
 

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.

BeeJay

thanks BeeJay.

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

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.

thanks very much again from hong kong

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
time, try to cancel that order with order id 12345. Normally than
you
will get an error message "Can't find order with id 12345". This
could be an indicator that the symbol was invalid.

Or another way that could help you:

Call ReqMktData for that symbol. If the symbol does not exist you
will get an error message like "Security definition request
returned
0 items for ticker id 123". Check the error message for that
text.
That?s what I do when I call ReqMktData.

hello.

i found some problem in placing invalid symbols. for example,
if
i
place an order to BUY 100 shares of XYZ, which is not valid.

the TWS API won't tell my program thru the API (such as ErrMsg
and
OrderStatus), but just make a popup in the Trader Workstation
program. hence i have no no way to know that the symbol is
invalid.

my solution is to keep a list of avaliable symbols. i'll check
if
the
symbol is in the list before placing the order.

it works, but i have to update the list from time to time. is
there
any better solutions?

What exactly does traderguard do?

thepermuk
 

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.

Thanks
