  1. mca, do you plan on adding limit order capability and allowing it to work with TWS generated orders? Thnx

  2. Don't do 2 versions of your software, I think the best solution is to have only 1 version and use a hotkey like say CTRL+F2 to switch to the Eurex mode for example...

  3. For emini trade management, please use
    version numbers in your software and on your webpage so I can keep up with the bug fixes & enhancement before my review next week...

  4. For Emini Trade Management :

    Can you also add a trailing stop feature ? And I would like the application to remember the settings we previously used (be it in a .ini or not)...

    when you run the program try replacing GLOBEX with DTB and replacing ES with DAX and put in your expriation date.

    I believe this should work. If not tell me what the problem is.

    For those who might be interested I've updated and added 3 more features to the program.
    1. BUY AT BID
    2. SELL AT OFFER
    3. BREAKEVEN STOP

    all of these orders are sent to IB TWS. see the text file for explanation.

    the update is at:

  10. I've spent all weekend fooling around with the various trailing stop gizmos. So far, this is the only one I got to work. I kind of cringe when someone comes up with something simple and then everyone asks for a special favor which only makes it more complicated.
    Now, for my special favor. I put the first stop in for protection, but I don't like to trail it until I have a little breathing room. Could you have a box for the first hard stop? Then all you would have to do is uncheck it and check the trailing stop when you want to start trailing.
    Furthermore, they are asking $150 for traderguard and claim they have 300 users. You being a programmer and all, you probably know how to use a calculator. I just did the math in my head, and that is a lot of dough!
    Thanks for giving it away, but don't sell yourself short.
