IB Autostop tool for NQ/ES (Emini Trade Management)

m_c_a98,

are you willing to share your source code? I would love to see how you coded the real time P&L. Is it VB?

 

Demo'd the program today ... seemed to work well.

Thanks.

 

It is VB and anyone is free to make their own program if they want. If you have specific questions during the process of creating your own app then I'll be happy to answer if I can.
To get started check out the examples in the Yahoo TWS API group.
The P/L is just the difference between your entryprice and current price.
when long its bid - entryprice
when short its entryprice - ask
make sure that your PNL code is in the TickPrice Event.

 

Thanks for the pointers. I had forgotten all about that e-group, I will check that out too.

 

If you are writing in VB and using the ActiveX control, it's very easy to crank out an app to do whatever you need. Provided (of course) that you know how to code.

 

For emini Trade Management :

Can you try to make it work for DTB ESTOX50 ?

I tried to change the exchange and the symbol and it connects but then I can't send any orders....

EUREX is the biggest future exchange in the world , a lot more volume than on CME....

 

George,

What's the symbol used in IB and is there a symbol for Qcharts?

Tick size and tick value?

pretzel

 

I don't know anything about DAX
tell me the following:
symbol
exchange
currency(ie: EUR)
how many decimals places on the quotes.
tick increments

Then send me your email address and I'll see if I can send it to you.

 

Very nice!
"Lean and Mean" just the way it should be.

 

Thanks Allan. As you can see I decided to scrap the VBA excel coding and I figured the activeX would be better.
