    I wanted to play around with making my trading system into an automated system and have some questions about the non-programming side.

    Can I use Amibroker to code my system, and then link it to Interactive Broker's TWS to automatically execute the trades for me?

    Before I go down the path of learning to program in Amibroker, I want to know if it will even work with my account in interactive brokers. I have programming experience with MATLAB only.

    Yes, you can but why do you start two threads having the same topic?

    You don't need Amibroker for this, you can connect IB's TWS directly to Matlab and program your entire automated system in Matlab. Take a look at IB-Matlab: http://undocumentedmatlab.com/ib-matlab
