Addition to your existing IB TWS platform. I designed it for

to profit from every single trend change with "adaptive

You will love it.
It will automate your profit collection at the topmost

i

like the most.
Download it from twsapi file area. I'll post it here within 3 days

Glad to hear you consider yourself to be `seasoned'. :-)

NASDAQ doesn't show orders less than 100 shares. Try Island and the Island
book if you want to play with tiny trades.

Subject: twsapi: Re: VB Sample Project: How To Place An Order


Here is the footnote I left off concerning order id's, thier

creation

and value.

Why choose an arbitrary value for an order id?

I might suggest that your order id system be based on time.
Using various functions one can extract a string from the

system

time

and date, convert it to a long value and then and use this as

an

id.

Why would one want to do this?

If they were (in the future) to decide to capture all trades

and

store in a database, the id can be reconverted into its date

value

and reports can be printed on a time basis.

Here is a crude example of creating an id based on date and

time:

Example Date: 6/20/02 10:24:17 AM

Private Sub Command2_Click()
Dim newString As String
Dim newId As Long
newString = newString & Month(Date)
newString = newString & Day(Date)
newString = newString & DatePart("h", Now)
newString = newString & DatePart("m", Now)
newString = newString & DatePart("s", Now)

Text1 = newString 'displays 620102417; a unique number
newId = CLng(newString) 'convert to long value

'this value is within the confines of Long type data:

2,147,483,647

End Sub


There are other reasons to manipulate the order id...

What if you want your id to be based on a conditional check of

the

symbol...for instance all trades with cisco will be between X

and

Y...

Or...if you trade options you might want an order prefix that
describes where in the money you are...or something like that..
I dont know much about options specifications

Or...you may want use an ordering system that relates to the

type

of

trade it was...Long or Short...

The choices are endless, and to dismiss everything but an

arbitrary

system is ridiculous

If your storing the number...put it to work

hi..

I have read your E-mails.. I was wrong..
We do not need another group..

I didn't mean to offend anyone...I'm sorry if I have...
I'm with you .. TWS API for VB is gone now..

Andrew

} Hello
} I just started new group based on great twsapi.
} It is not any competition to existing group just extention for
} VB programmers and newbies.
} TWS_AP_VB will filter users and will focus on VB ONLY supporting
} twsapi.
} I am seting the TWS_AP_VB as membership only but everyone who
} will POST a sample or partial code on twsapi for VB can join.
}
} I hope this will seperate ppl who want to share from all others
} who just want to TAKE.
}
} Again.. THIS IS NOT A NEW GROUP.. if you just need help or advice
} twsapi is the main group for all of us.
}
} any Q ?? contact me direct multicen2002@...
}
}

That's just plain stupid!

Don't be in such a hurry that you cause damage.

There is not enough interest to support yet another group. And all
the various languages supported by the API are similar enough that they
should be discussed together for maximum benefit.

So you're not much of a programmer and are trying to get others to
do all your learning and work for you ... Well you're doing damage to
the exchange of ideas.

Back off! Relax.


Richard

Your right...

Goes to show ya I really am coming up from the bottom on this...

I think the premise is sound in terms of time

I myself dont (wont) quibble to much on this. I just threw this out
there...

Probably a whole hell of a lot better to stick another dimension in
an array and just time stamp the call

Thanks for pointing out the obvious flaw. On the otherhand though,
crafty order id assignment could be an advantage i suppose

Scott

FWIW: I didn't know an IF statment from Jack's Shinola 6 months
ago...but I am trying like the dickens to learn fast...its the damn
logic that beach slaps me down every time....
