J-Trader, X-Trader and TWS

No, it´s not an API. It´s a frontend.

 

With TWS, I can trade using one of these:

Can those other platforms do the same?

In my opinion, the cream of the crop for these front-end programs working with TWS is www.ninjatrader.com
Official version one release due soon but it's already very stable and working great "live".

 

nasdaqmadness,

Thanks for staying with BT even if it has not been updated for more than 6 months and in spite of all the other great frontends coming out.

Have you checked the BT site lately?

Take a look at www.strategyrunner.com. They also offers a Bracket Trade with J-Trader. They also can use trailing stops and execute mechanically any system. It is a nice program. Take a test drive......Bling

 

I wonder if anyone is making money using their strategies.

 

is there a chance they will be offering

more ACE products and

Globex products?

 

X-Trader is very customizable and is one of the most stable platforms. You can set up hot keys and configure the layout of the software multiple ways.

If you want to try out the X-Trader simulator PM me and I'll get you a free trial.
