Anyone successful for "contingent order" using API?

  1. Hi,

    For example, there is "contingent" order, in Etrade, that works fine.
    When MSFT hits $40, then submit regular BUY order at $38. However we SHOULD type each time for each equity separately, which is time-consuming.

    To save labor, one can make, for example, 10 by 5 matrix

    MSFT 40 BUY 100 38
    C 46 BUY 100 45
    DD 64 BUY 50 63
    xxxxxxxxxxxx

    by his own programming stored as csv format (10 by 5) in c:\ folder.

    Most likely this can be done using API. Anyone have experience to send 10 orders together, by clicking JUST ONE button? I heard that this can be done in Etrade, TradeKing or IB

    There is NO free lunch. If someone can do it, I will pay cash with lunch. Since I am a frequent flyer, I can stop NY or LA area, if needed.
     
  2. Please do NOT think about how to generate 10 by 5 matrix,. It is my work to do.
