how to create this simple program?

  1. Lots of competition there.

    ...

    Broader, sure fire solution to the OP, without so much fiddly tech stuff:

    a) Use a broker that has a phone based app, and do it manually [as per Bob111].

    b) If you're a big enough swinging enough dick, like all ET posters, then surely your broker can handle this for you, seeing as he gets your flow.

    Either of these will probably be cheaper and more reliable than learning, and then using Pascal.

    But wtfdik.

  2. When OP looks for Pascal books on Amazon and finds they were written in the 1990s, that should be a hint.

  3. True.

    That being said, I have nothing against Pascal. Just not my first choice for interfacing with some brokers API, or screen scraping & mouse spoofing.

    Not that there's anything wrong with that.
