I downloaded the TWS API files from IB site a couple of days ago and
took a look at the Excel DDE sample sheet. I followed the scant
instructions and gave it a go, in "demo" mode. I couldn't place a
trade from the spreadsheet, but I managed to modify a trade that I
placed in the TWS manually using the spreadsheet! I could check on
the trade and cancel it also, but I could not place a trade!
I'm sure this issue has already been discussed among some of you. If
anyone could point me to a good resource on the subject it would be
greatly appreciated.
many thanks in advance
