Re: What is the String for sending trade data to IB?
"Hope I dont sound too stupid."................................ There is no such thing as sounding stupid when your asking a question. The mere fact you are asking a question means your in the process of learning. I never met a stupid learning person. If you kept doing the same thing and expected a different result, than I might take all of your sharp objects away...and give you tennis balls to play with...

You can then create a control array of the TWS objects, and refrence
your calls and methods based on the indecie of the TWS object.

Re: twsapi: Authomated Trading for TWS
I tried your TradeGaurd but still unable to grasp the benefits
of it to traders except a bunch of flipping colorful arrows You can simply use
IB's TWS Dde.xls or TWSActiveX.xls and place your orders as well!
What additionals features and benefits your platform provides
compared to IB's order-placing platforms?

Hi TradeGuard author:
Do you have any document on how to run your TradeGaurd? I

Spend some time and write up a document telling how to use
it.

First off: If you have an .exe to upload, you must also provide the
source code in the form of a project. Posting of packaged .exe's
without source is not permitted. I would ask you: Whats the point?
Your are welcome to post a link to an ancillary download in the Third
Party Application bookmark folder. However, that link should point to
a page that describes the software, its use and methods....Ideally on
those pages would be your download link, and/or a contact link to
request a copy of your software.
The TWS API files area is for uploading example projects with source
code, and other files that further the general community. Uploading
is generally unrestricted to all members...but I watch the files
section to ensure that the content is open code, and that the source
code pertains to the general underlying intent of this board: The
Exchange of Ideas and Information related to IB's TWS API.
Fire me a private email if you would like to discuss this further.
Scott
Further, it is requisite that you have a well documented web page
describing the operation, methods and premise of the .exe. Open ended
shallow .exe files will not last but two flicks of the lambs tail...

Re: twsapi: Re: Java API, ordering question
Hi, <When I submit an order of type MKT, it will sell stocks at whatever <the market bid price happens to be when I submit the order ? and it <will buy stocks at whatever the market ask price happens to be ? <Also, I am still curious about what happens if it is not able to find <all the stocks I am requesting at one price. I assume it will do <partial fills with different prices. I can tell this because there is <the average price coming in to orderStatus() event. Is it possible to <tell how many of the stocks were purchased at what price without <doing any guessing ? That's what the market order is expected to do. It will get you in or out of the market on the next available price/prices, regardless of the sharesize. On July 2nd, IDPH gave a great example what happens, if you sell 1 million shares at the market (8 $ down in 2 minutes, back near normal during the next 30 minutes) So with a market order you can be sure, you'r in or out. A market order will also get you in on any short, but it will wait for the next uptick, so you can't know the level you will be filled in advance, if the order is entered on a downtick. Unless a stock is halted during the execution of your order, there is no partial fill. In comparison a limit order might or might not fill or you might get a partial fill, depending on the shares available at your level. I'm not sure if the API provides all the details of the executions, but you can get all the details concerning the different fills from the Executions Window on IB's Trader Workstation. IMHO, for P/L calculation it should be sufficient to work with the average price, as this is the price you paid plus one times commission. Have a nice weekend, croc Thanks. --- In twsapi@y..., "marinindextrader" <marinindextrader@y...> wrote: Market Order Price Values are ignored or not required...
A proper MKT order call looks like this in a literal sense:
Call PlaceNewOrder("BUY", 1, "ES", "FUT", "200209",
0, "", "GLOBEX", "", "MKT", 0, 0)
This is a MKT order call for one contract of September ES on the
Globex Exchange. Of course one can use variables of proper type in
lieu of literals...
In order to asses the results of your Market Order you will need to
use: Call reqExecutions
The data will then be fed back through the openOrder1(), openOrder2
(), and orderStatus() Events where they can be captured, analyzed and diseminated...
Begin by reading the TWS API help files. Though brief in nature, they are concise and indespensible in understanding how all of the events and methods tie together...
Events Syntax:
X_Other/activexevents.htm
Methods Syntax:
X_Other/activexmethods.htm
Properties Syntax:
X_Other/activexproperties.htm

In Metaserver:
(i) Against 'Symbol Name', you put your symbol (whatever you
have typed in column #1 in your TWSDde.xls spread sheet. Make sure you type it
in same case (upper case or lower case).
It is also important you have the same symbol in your global
server (upper case or lower case).
听
(i)Next, against 听DDE: you type
'excel.exe'.
(ii) Then, go into 'Trade/Volume'.
(iii) there, against 'DDE Topic' you put'
TWSDde.xls'.
(iv) Then, against 'DDE Item' you put 'R15C13'.
It means row 15 and column 13.

You now know where DAX is in the TWDde.xls. Write down its
row number and column number of its last price. The column of the last price
must be 13. Let us say, the row # is 15 and column # is 13.. Write it down
and keep it aside.
听
If you have installed Metaserver correctly, (I presume you
have), then, once you bring up Global server 'on-line' you should get
Metaserver window popping up. Do this happen? Once you get Global server up
on-line and Metaserver window pops up come back and we talk. If you want to
go through this process fast and want to make your $million today itself :),
then give me a call (905) 257 3554) once you have Metaserver window
up.

First, you have to get the quotes from IB workstation

support and they will help you on phone to download TWSDde.xls from
their web site and how to install and where to install it. It should be
installed in "C:/JTS/excel" directory.听听Once you install
TWSDde.xls, ask the tech support how to start receiving quotes into this

Thanks Scott... The question is mainly with the MetaServer Demo

DDE to be linking and MetaServer Demo to be capturing the data, which
then I can pass to the TS2000i GlobalServer (TradeStation)....
听
In fact, I cannot also get the TWS Excel s/s DDE to link and work
