    Bad news , I tried to compile several .ahk files and only a few are still working and not even completely . I think they are still in deep Beta phase, so I wouldn't be a guinea pig if I were you.

    Unfortunately I couldn't find a valid AHK alternative for MAC, I know you can use mac scripts, I have no idea how they work and the extent of their capabilities though. There are also many macro recorders, you might want to ask MAC community.. in Italy we say , you wanted a bicycle ? Now Pedal Mofo! :D J/K!

    Jokes aside here is V.4 for Win
    Only difference is the way the original mouse position (as soos as you click) was recorded, now it's "stored" in a variable and doesn't depend in any way on the position of the Conf. window
    Process more robust now.

  2. Too bad the code is not compatible with Macs. However, I managed to run TWS with the script in Parallels 6 and it works. Not quite as smooth as a real PC but close. Think I'll just stick with v905 for now, it still works. Cheers.

    mark1,
    thanks for the program. It works great when I have the BookTrader on a manin or second monitor but it doesn't work if the price ladder is on a third/fourth monitor.
    Any chance of updating your program?

    I'll see what I can do...

    Couple questions :
    -3rd & 4th monitors are using the same graphic card of 1st & 2nd?
    - We are talking about the same pc, right? (kinda lame Q, but you never know..heh)

    1st & 2nd monitor are on one graphic card, 3rd & 4th are on second graphic card. Yes, same PC :)
    It's not a big deal and I'm grateful for what you created but it would be nice to have the full flexibility.

    With a little modification in the src files the ibcontroller handles the order confirmation window, and you get back virtually the one click trade in booktrader. It is java so it should work in mac too. It works for me in linux.
    (this file contains the unmodifed version)

  8. Your program looks great and appears to be just what the doctor ordered.

    I see that the username and password must be entered in. I run two TWS at the same time, a client and also an advisor acct to enable more than three book traders to be running at the same time.

    Is it possible to use your program on two TWS at the same time that have different usernames?

    Thanks very much

    If you don't enter the login info into the ini file (leave it blank), you can enter it when the login window comes up, and so you can run multiple tws copes. I run 2 tws myself with ibcontroller too. (btw it is not my program but you can download it freely.)
    let me know if need more help.
