    Are you sure Hyperserver lite is no longer free? Looks to be still free from the website.

    Please refer to the attached file.

    I think they require a new machine code (activation code ) once you reinstall your OP

    Thanks for the infomation as always. But currently my main concern is to be able to update the trailing stop price everybar , it seems that tradestation does not satisfy this function. So for the time being, I am putting aside the Hyperserver/metaserver + IB +hyperorder +tradestation combination and exploring the InvestorRT+Autotrader/Ninjatrader combination.

  5. If you use IB then you can use TWS from IB for a trailing stop.

  6. Regarding Tradestation and effective stop loss orders :
    https://www.tradestation.com/support/whats_new/tradestation_0810_sp1.aspx
    Latest release (always remember: latest is the greatest) supports OCO (Order Cancels Order), Bracketed OCO's (simultaneous profit target and stop loss are active), and finally OSO (Order Sends Order) which allows for an IMMEDIATE stop loss upon getting filled.

    These are been LONG AWAITED enhancements and if they work as advertised, stop-loss order entry should be a simple bit of coding now. With Tradebolt for instance, I've seen some wild and hairy code needed to do the above.

    Just21,

    Do you know if the data will port into RadarScreen as well?

    I may try the QC product for their Worldwide data, but I still need a scanner for U.S equities.

    The real time quotes received by the Data Feed application software will be converted by LinkServer2000
    then sent to TradeStation2000i, to be archived in its Data Base and plotted on the TradeStation2000i charts.


    I presume it means globalserver when they refer to the tradestation database. Do report back to the forum if you try it.

    Does anyone know how many days of intra-day backfill data IB provides?
