    The tactical intelligence environment that we control, SPECTRE LEVEL IV, combined with IB' structure would constitute the most powerful platform in the industry.........

    and considerably the most valuable resource for direct access traders ever seen or accomplished.........

    Have a Good Morning...............

  5. Peter -

    Looking at your first post in this thread, I was just curious if you were ever able to to get that COM object developed? I myself, work full time as a systems analyst specializing in MFC/VC++ and would be willing to test if for you, if you'd like.

    I was wondering if you could help me:

    ref my post: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=5545

    I am trying to do the following and want to write my own VB application that interfaces with IB TWS

    EXAMPLE:

    Buy 4 Long ES at Limit Price

    Stop Order(All-4) Set at Limit Price -2.00

    Sell 2 Longs Order Set at Entry + 2.00
    Move Stop to Break Even

    Sell 1 Long Order Set at Entry + 3.00
    Move Stop to Break Even =2.00

    Sell 1 Long Order Set at Entry + 4.00


    I want to be able to create custom order sets that when I invoke the cmd click event procedure....the order would execute and update as above. Stops would move up automatically etc...

    I know this an involved project, and I need to take baby steps first so......

    For starters, do you have any sample VBP's that I could look at to get a feel of how an Active X API interfaces a VBP and TWS?

    Anything to give me an idea would be great...Thanks
