RE:
Addition to your existing IB TWS platform. I designed it for scalpers
to profit from every single trend change with "adaptive Automation
Engine" monitoring market tick by tick and in real time.
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.

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of all or most of the possible
error strings that are fed through Tws1_errMsg ?

It sure would be nice to have a full list and a cross refrence index
to handle errors...

A library of err text strings if you will that can be refrenced and
then acted on if necessary...very much akin to VB's own error
handling....

If TwsErr = 11 Then
[do stuff]
Else
[do other stuff]
EndIf

I have a couple of programs that do this in VB. Unfortunately they
are coupled into larger programs or have ActiveX components. I may
try to strip out the relevent code "sanitize it", and put it into a
project or two and write up some documentation if I find the time
during the coming weeks.

Hi,

Does somebody know some way to run the TWS application unattended?
What I need is:
1- Avoid the login screen, passing parameters (UserName and

Password) from

my calling application.
2- Respond to the message window asking 'Accept incoming connection
attempt?' when I connect to the local server.

This is because I'm writting my own program (Visual Basic using TWS

ActiveX)

which allways runs in the background and want it to automatically

launch TWS

few minutes before markets open and perform some automated tasks

when I'm

not at home.

I've tried to launch TWS from my application with a call

to 'ShellExecute',

passing parameters as 'username' or 'user' without success. I

always get the

login screen blank because I ignore if TWS accepts such parameters

and how

they must be coded (I think this must be possible because in the

web demo,

the login screen appears whith such fields pre-filled with 'edemo'

and

'demouser'). Perhaps in some 'ini' file? (I've not found any

section related

to username and password).

Thanks for any help.

Michel.

Trailing stops take a bit of proper organization to work out
correctly. You need to keep track of entry price, whether it is a

buy

or sell, MaxPnL for the open position and the Trail Stop amount.

You

use live data to figure the MaxPnL. For a long position the Trail
stop price = Entry Price - MaxPnL.

Actually the formula if you are in a long position for setting your
trailing stop would be Stop Price = Entry Price + MaxPnL - Trail Stop
Amount

I'm curious about two things as I get started on my own Java
project involving IB and their API. First, I think I'm understanding
that you have to have TWS running locally and that the socket client
checkbox must be checked in order to use the API. Is this correct? It
seems it must be true because the API does not offer any login
support.

Correct. When you connect using the API, a dialog box pops up on the
client asking whether you want to accept the connection.

Second, does anyone have experience using the Linux/UNIX client or
the Linux/UNIX APIs? Love to hear about any potential problems there.

TWS is a Java app, so it is pretty much the same on Linux as
elsewhere. I've had no problems that appeared to be specific to Linux.

As previous replies suggested, IB should not be misused as a
data feed. For several resons it's not suitable for that.

But in your example, you can drop the disconnect/connect and
assign use new Contract Objects with the same TickerIDs. This way
you can retrieve an arbitrary number of quotes sequentially.

I agree. Especially since IB doesn't provide all of the available quotes.

What is the compacted size when zipped down?

If its not to big just email it to me...

Is 23mb the compacted version or fully installed ready run version

Please clarify

Do we need a specific IB Build ? Latest one ?

usually when they update their API some functions do not work properly,

could you please clarify?

I hope this is not off-topic....
Anyway I think it's a great link

General site:
Execl macro:

Trader Guard - ES NQ - 23MB program

Is Done !!! and working really GOOD.
Ready to be send to people who asked for it.. BUT..
Is to big to be POST here.. or to be send via E-mails.
I am going to setup today some free web site with this useful
interface for TWS.
And I'll POST link HERE ..download from there, please..
Protective mode work awesome.. I tested new version of TraderGuard
today on NQ.
It is better than older version.


If you like version 1.03.01 Try ver. 2.01.04. You want regret
it.

New features
- risk adjustable auto sell with wrong trend
- no transmit needed
- quick reverse with 1 click
- cover short or long with auto cancel pending one
- display profit of individual trade
- display risk monitoring limit
enjoy

I'll POST link here TOMMOROW.

I am using the Java API. When I send more than 40 or so requests for
ticker info, I get the following exception:

I want to be able to download info on few hundred tickers at a time,
what should I do ?

Thanks in advance.

You are among a large group of users who would like to be able to do
this, me being one of them...

I don't know how...

It really is anoying they don't give us a security server to pass
through. Seems so archaic to have to have a TWS open for each account
we log on to...

This is a great group! I looked over the sample VB programs, opened
an account at IB and now my head is swimming with ideas. :)

I'm thinking of writing a utility that will monitor my open positions
during the day, then implement a trailing stop by updating a stop
order based on each stock's 14 day ATR X 3. I like this trailing
stop alot, and have been using it on a portfolio at Marketocracy.com
for 5 months now. It's up 8%... not too bad by only going long in a
bear market.

I program with VB6 and WebZinc (webzinc.net), a program that easily
grabs data off the web. It has a ton of uses and I highly recommend
it.

I know IB acccepts odd-lot stock orders for NYSE and Nasdaq stocks,
what about AMEX stocks? I wrote them a week ago and still no answer.

Thanx,
Brian
