IB - Booktrader 906 no more single click!

  1. As said, I have been using them for a long time now.
    But reconfigured some of them shortly, and it is the same: they do immediate execution,
    checking the "armed" box.

    I am surprised your do not work.

    And yes, they are under the quote panel and above the ladder.

    Robert,
    Try to increase the allowed max. memory usable by java, that might help your out of memory error:
    in my IB controller startup script I have:

    java -Xmx512m -classpath bla-bla bla bla

    -Xmx512m sets the max memory available for java to 512MB. May be yours is set lower

  3. Hello Asterix,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I moved it up to 2512M and that seems to have solved it. Thank you very much.

  4. I am using auto_Confirm_v6_x64 with the latest version of TWS and the single click works fine except under this condition:

    When I have a position open already in the same futures contract (NGQ1 for example) and I try to place another order (whether it is to close out the open position or not it does not matter) the single click does not work. Once I place the new order I can modify it with the drag and drop and the single click works fine.

    To make things even more strange for contracts that have positions opened longer than one day I do not run into the same problem when placing a new order.

    While I have not used this tool very much, this is the only bug that I have found. I might be missing some other problems that go along with this bug that would explain why it is happening but so far I have been unable to find any. I was just wondering if anyone else has encountered the same problem.

    Thanks to mark1 & Asterix for your great effort! I do encounter some problems, however.

    I tried to use mark1's auto_confirm (v6.1)but it just won't auto click and transmit the order.

    Then I found if I split MouseClick statement into 2 statements, then it works! Like this

    MouseClick("primary", 278, 104, 1, 0) statement change to
    Code:
    MouseMove(278, 104, 0)
    MouseClick("Primary")
    
    and MouseClick("primary", 50, 104, 1, 0) statement change to
    Code:
    MouseMove(50, 104, 0)
    MouseClick("Primary")
    

    I also tried Astrix's IBController, it works. Yet the dos command keeps complaining the it can't find jar:c:\jts\language.jar

    I'm running Win7 x64. I installed all IB related stuff under F:\IB. So TWS is under F:\IB\Jts, IBController is under F:\IB\IBController, auto confirm code by mark is under F:\IB\AutoConfirm

    Don't know if the error message will cause problem down the road.

    The bid price and ask price boxes in quote panel single click immediate execution, limit order at what you click.

    Talked to someone at IB recently, they will be going back to the old BT as soon as they resolve the legal issues. IB does not believe these guys have a case and that eventually we will get rid of the confirm.

    I had two occasions this weekto talk to IB, and both times was told that the return to single click is not imminent.

    But I found this AutoHotkey program, which can copy and then repeat the 'click on BT Button, and click on Confirmation button' sequence, with the keyboard hotkey of your choice. This autohotkey program simply memorizes and repeats on command the necessary mouse/keyboard actions. This program has been around for years it seems, but I just 'discovered' it.

    With the new TWS version (921) and "autoconfirm v6.1 x64 and v6.1 x32" (the versions compiled with Autoit) there was a problem due probably to a small change in how fast the confirmation button was available for firing the the auto-click.

    I think I fixed it by adding a delay of 50 ms to the auto-click. ( barely noticeable to the human eye)

    Let me know if it works on your systems, here now it works fine.

    The last version compiled with Autohotkey (only for 32 bit systems) still worked fine here, thus I didn't change it.

    Ciao!
