IB Improvements (Part 3)

Discussion in 'Interactive Brokers' started by fleance, Mar 4, 2002.

  1. IB has added Option combination orders for the ISE. You can now construct all the legs and set the net credit/debit you want for the trade.

    Not bad, now if I can only figure out what to do with all this power .......

  2. Does anyone know if stock accounts
    also benefit from CBOT's waived market data fees ?

    (Maybe cut only for fut acct's - since stock acct.
    will view only anyway ...???)

    Knows someone ??

  3. I have noticed my TWS workstation

    startup much faster in the latest 1-2 versions

    usually I can see prices within 15- 30 seconds of

    login start. Thanks Def + Company

    :D

    I was wondering if you could help me:

    ref my post: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showt...p?threadid=5545

    I am trying to do the following and want to write my own VB application that interfaces with IB TWS

    EXAMPLE:

    Buy 4 Long ES at Limit Price

    Stop Order(All-4) Set at Limit Price -2.00

    Sell 2 Longs Order Set at Entry + 2.00
    Move Stop on remainder to B.E. on execution

    Sell 1 Long Order Set at Entry + 3.00
    Move Stop to Break Even + 2.00

    Sell 1 Long Order Set at Entry + 4.00


    I want to be able to create custom order sets that when I invoke the cmd click event procedure....the order would execute and update as above. Stops would move up automatically etc...

    I know this an involved project, and I need to take baby steps first so......

    For starters, do you have any sample VBP's that I could look at to get a feel of how an Active X API interfaces a VBP and TWS?

    Anything to give me an idea would be great...Thanks

    Why doesn't IB allow routing to regional exchanges for NYSE executions? Is it possible to do so?

    Thanks,

    Or course it is possible, in fact I think it was a feature in the older versions of TWS.

    I'm trying to keep my IB TWS on top of my charts. I installed PushPin that has the 'Always on Top' feature.

    How do get Push Pin to work? When I start the program it opens in my system tray, but the only options I see are 'remove' and 'about'. This is embarrassing but I can't figure out how to work this software.

    Thanks!
