Re: Stop Loss and Trailing Stop
Stop Loss- should be triggered to a market order at the price you

specify, you should be able to specify if its triggered by the bid ask or last trade.( don't know how to do that) Trailing stop loss - you specify the "spread" from the current price. So lets say you had a sell trailing stop of 1 for the current price of 20. Your stop should get triggered 1 point below the current price from the moment you enter the order. If stock moves to 20.5 after you entered the order your stop rises to 19.5. if the stock drops to 19, your stop loss is triggered. If you have a buy showing up instead of a sell you can change it manualy --- In TWSAPI@..., "rdcurrie2001" <currie-s@...> wrote:

Problem with updates using TWSAPI and paper trading account
sellwhenibuy
I have a problem with a VB.NET application I am building against the
TWSAPI. I have only used the application against a paper account so far. After a few minutes of operation updates either the bid or ask of several stocks stop updating. They do not update on the TWS screen and no updates come through the API either. Is this a common problem? Something only with paper accounts? Any hints or ideas would be very appreciated. Thanks |

Trade two accounts from one screen?
a6rtury
If I have trading rights for another person's IB account, can I trade
both my account and the other account when I make a trade -- without having 2 instances of TWS open and switching between them? I do my trading from IB's TWS standalone screen. I'm assuming there would have to be some special setup with IB so that the second account would somehow be linked to mine. Is this possible? |

Stop Loss and Trailing Stop
I need a little help unerstanding the logic of the stop loss and
trailing stop procedures within IB. I understand the functions they play but when I try to enter either of these I get confussed. The only way I can get to the stop loss or traing stop functions is to first enter a sell order which shows up as a day limit order. I then click on the sell box to pull down the stop loss or trailing stop functions. I now have an additional buy line with a STP function shown. My question is how do these two orders work together in order to stop a falling stock. I wanted to execute this procudure this morning but as it became unclear I decided not to go forward and ask anyone to help me understand. I am sure this is basic stuff but bear with me please. Thanks!!! |

VOL trading broken in 8.84
8.84 seems to have broken VOL trading for me. The older version had a
deltaNeutral property which could be set to true. Now instead there is a deltaNeutralOrderType property. But regardless of what order type I select, I don't get the stock trade with the option trade. Also, it looks like regardless of what Implied Vol I set, the option is bought at the current market price. In addition, using TWS I can no longer place a vol trade using the demo login. |

Real time market scanner
fox97us
Hello, all
I am trying to develop a real time market scanner. I think there two ways to do it. 1) get real time data --> import into my database --> do scanning at my local computer. However, IB TWS has a limit of 100 symbols at same time. Is there any way I can circimvent it? 2) write a scanning program with my own codes --> send to a serve has real time and historical data --> get back signals. Any campanys provide such service? Lots of market scanners avaible now only have pre-defined creteria I can choose. I can??t get what I want. Thanks a lot Fox97us |

Re: TWS 857
Marius Kjeldahl
I read something about this recurring problem (assuming you are talking about the linux/unix release). If you move the login window outside of the screen centre before logging in, the splash will appear (and not disappear), but you can see what is really going on; after logging in it prompts that an upgrade is available and asks if you want to download it. Click yes/no, and login proceeds. The popup with this question is never seen when the login window is beneath the splash, so the question can not be answered and login never completes.

Re: TWS 857
Barnet Wagman
I suspect that the problem has something to do with the information that
TWS writes to one of the files in IBJts/dhohopwus. After I ran into the 'splash' problem, I installed a 'fresh' copy of 857.7, which recreates those files (without my settings, of course). With the re-created dhohopwus files, I was able to login successfully with 857.7. However, I've download the 858.4 jars, and they seem to work. PS Whatever the problem is, it has nothing to do with the splash itself; presumably TWS doesn't dispose of it until login is complete, which never happened. |

Re: What's the diff between reqOpenOrders and reqAllOpenOrders?
It's highly uncommon to say this with regards to TWS, but in this case RTFM :)
Method : reqOpenOrders() Notes : Call this method to request the open orders that were placed from this client. Each open order will be fed back through the openOrder1(), openOrder2(), openOrder3(), and orderStatus() events. NOTE: The client with a clientId of 0 will also receive the application-owned open orders. These orders will be associated with the client and a new orderId will be generated. This association will persist over multiple API and application sessions. Method: reqAllOpenOrders() Notes: Call this method to request the open orders that were placed from all clients and also from the application. Each open order will be fed back through the openOrder1(), openOrder2(), openOrder3(), and orderStatus() events. NOTE: No association is made between the returned orders and the requesting client.

What's the diff between reqOpenOrders and reqAllOpenOrders?
Jay Strauss
Hi,
This may seem obvious to some but, What's the diff between reqOpenOrders and reqAllOpenOrders? I've been testing by placing the order via the TWS only. In my testing, both methods give back the same results. If I use clientId = 0, with either method call I get back "ALL" open orders. If I use clientId <> 0 then I do NOT get back anything, since I have not placed any orders thru the API with the same clientId thanks Jay |

If your ActiveX control's name is AxTws1, then your event handlers should be called AxTws1_orderStatus, AxTws1_errorMsg, etc. You seem to have called them Tws1_orderStatus, etc - they are never going to be called! Richard -----Original Message-----

Re: Two TWS instances on one machine
You might want to take a look at virtual computing with either Virtual PC or Virtual Server from Microsoft or one of the VMWare versions for virtual computing. You can make a very small footprint of a single machine environment and then clone it as needed to in effect set up multiple independent instances (either entirely isolated or differential environments). These can share a single data directory on ths host machine (using a shared folders type of setup) where you can put those data files together or aggregate the contents for further analysis.
Very inepensive way to go, single physical machine, multiple virtual machines, easy to back up the environment as necessary. Performance probably is sufficient in this environment collecting the data as long as you have a high-speed connection to the internet available. ----> I suppose I could run each TWS on a separate computer, but that seemsnever heard something like this before, running 3 TWS + 3 paper trade accounts from single computer+ each of them communicate with my app via API. computers are cheap today anyway. i just build one on celeron D under $200,using brand new parts from tigerdirect :) --------------------------------- Love cheap thrills?
