How is order entered in automated systems?

Do you need special account to do this and can we average part-time guys do it from home?

 

Possibly by typing manually?!

 

You can do it with an IB account and a bit of programming effort.

C

 

No special account.

You need to program your system into one of the many pieces of software available, and then hitch it to your order system.
It will trigger you orders automatically, while your gone.

Hope you still own the house, once you get back, though...

Good luck to you.

 

Will that work with the web interface I'm using? (now typing by hands).

 

Try AutoIt’s scripting language for automating the Windows GUI so you don’t have to type things in by hand any more (via mouse and keystroke simulation). As to how exactly to interface with your Web-based order entry, you’d have to experiment with it.

You don't need IB account (any broker account
will do), GUI, C++, Java, VB#,...

All above are pain in the ass, those are made for
geeks who have nothing better to do in their life.
