Hello,

I'm sure this question has been asked before. However, after searching these forums and the Web I haven't found any positive answer.

Is there an order entry software for Interactive Brokers that would work on Linux (and ideally implemented in Java)?

I am looking for something like a simplified ButtonTrader. Or, in other words, TWS BookTrader with added chart matching the market depth (orderbook) ladder, more trading strategy options and integrated order/position/P&L tracking.

Thanks!

One thread I found doesn't seem to list anything with a DOM that allows 1-click trading.

I think that's due to some software patent.

Implementing it will get you sued.

IB and ButtonTrader got around the famous Trading Technologies patent. NinjaTrader is paying a patent fee to TT, which doesn't stop NT from offereing the version without live trading for free,

So, I don't see any immovable legal obstacle in implementing such a front end.

SierraChart via wine works pretty well. I have not tested the DOM feature.

You could run ButtonTrader or anything else through Virtualbox on a Windows guest if you needed to I'm sure.

I was thinking more along the lines of a native Linux application (or cross-platform like Java).

I am interested in something I could run on a "rooted" Android device with Linux installed.

Hence anything that requires binary compatibility is out of question. The device would run an ARM processor.
