There aint squat for docs and if you email Qcharts they just say
unless your a QDP member they wont give you support. You can use the
object browser on the OCX but it will appear greek unless you know
what your dealing with...It will expose all the Objects, Properties
and Methods...thats how I started with it...

When I got close I was able to get a little help and put the pieces
together...

I can help you ....

Scott, Thanks for the info. Looks like Qcharts is just what I need.
Can I assume that just looking at the typelib of their OCX is

sufficient

for figuring it out, or is their some docs?

I am using the Qcharts OCX and Qcharts feed. I am not part of the

QDP

developers group...too expensive...but I am a paying member for

their

regular live data service.

I have their OCX and have code that calls for the data. There OCX
registers as a result of Qcharts installation, and the object,
property and method syntax can be had.

There has been change in the wind at Q with the switch from Qfeed

to

QDP for deveolopers, and on top of that, you will still need a Live
Data subscription. QDP is delayed, but also includes 24 hour
simulators allowing for testing outside of normal market hours....

QDP has an initiation fee of 300 bucks, costs 160 bucks a month,

and

you will need another 80-150 for live data per month! Can you

believe

that?

Qcharts and Lycos Pissed alot of people off when they instituted

the

QDP program....I understand quite a few folks just said screw it

and

either abandoned QCharts data for further developement, or bailed
altogether....

You can also grab DDE data from Q if you want under the normal
subscription....thier DDE feed and thier XLS plug-in do not use VBA
from what I can tell...it looks like all XLS type scripts...

Of course you will need Qcharts membership...starts at 80 bucks +
exchange fees. Emini is available for 10 bucks.

TAL has an excellent developers program, and a very reliable feed
from what I understand...more than I can say for Q. Bit pricey

though.

Yes it lacks time stamps and there are implications to this.

First off tickPrice and tickSize do NOT pulse concurentley.
Early on with my developement I crafted a TOS (time of sales)

grid.

When I logged on to try it out, the size and price columns

quickley

got out of sync.

Both tickPrice and tickSize only pulse when there is a change. To

do

so otherwise would in essence make IB a data provider.

I for one do not want to see IB turn into a data provider.

I simply included an ActiveX component from my data provider and

was

able to bring in a secondary feed. I can now print a TOS grid,

and

compare Last from two sources if desired...

sorry - you are correct. I had only briefly looked at the Java side
(not much involved), and I thought it was sending a serialized
Contract object over the socket, but I looked closer at the source
and see it's just pulling attributes out from Contract.. this is a
lot more basic then i thought, which is good :)
i can't wait to until the weekend rolls around so i can mess with it.

That?s what I think too.

My Delphi VCL is also based on sockets but has some more events like

OnOrderPlaced, OnOrderFilled, OnOrderCancelled etc.

I can?t program in VB but there is a way to use sockets in VB and the
use of sockets is much better then the ActiveX.

Look at "Winsock API and VB - step by step tutorial for the Visual
Basic developers"

There already is a socket interface. I believe thats actually how all but
the DDE interface are implemented.

There is a python interface based on the initial TWS release that included
the socket interface at . As far as I
know it hasn't gotten much testing.

There is also source for the dde library that used to be needed to
activate the socket interface there. I'm not sure if its still required.

That would be awsome...and when your done I will write the VB class

I think this is a fine idea and these could be put in the files
section.

We should not do so without the express approval of IB though. Anyone
who has retained prior versions, please email IB Management prior to

Something I'd like to see this group put together is an archive of

I've seen several cases where people upgraded to the latest and

setup because of bugs or incompatible versions. I've lobbied IB to
add the past few versions in a spot on their web site or on FTP,

no action has occurred to date.

The yahoo boards do allow polling....but here is the rub...

They require that the email list of the group be made public outside

I opted out of that option out of respect for the privacy of the

One thing i do on the yahoo board i run, is when a new member signs up i
approve him/her(It?). Theres another setting that when you approve that
allows you to approve each msg that person sends. After seing that this
person is indeed interested in posting on said topic of group ( usually the
person will send a email and i get notified i need to approve it to pass it
onto the group) i remove the restriction on this persons posts for all
future posts. What this does is lets my group be 100% free of spammers which
means my members dont get lots of annoying mail. Perhaps a viable option for
you.

Regards,
Knyyt

I will take exception in this case to this post. Any commercial posts
will be yanked....

I for one would like to see a commercial posting of a new available
product. IMHO, once is news, repeated infomation on same topic then becomes
spam. JMHO,
