  1. ice bergs.. vwaps... thats german to me... obviously that means that people are posting options trades to game people watching.. which i would have to consider.. but you seriously think it would be a total fruitless task with no insight what so ever gained?

  2. Well, let me chime in and say the title of this thread is off the mark.
    Why ? Simply because Excel is NOT a trade management platform.
    Not even close. It's just a crude tool. It knows nothing about trading.
    Could a trade management platform be built with Excel VBA ?
    Of course, but it would not be a trivial project.

    Why not consider a real trading platform that can be programmed ?
    Ninja Trader and Multicharts both support the IB data feed.

  6. I love the extensibility of their platform and c# is so powerful

    Have you considered going retro ?

    Hire a secretary. You could be a bit pushed to find one at $50 per month. But you could call it work experience - and dangle unlimited wealth before her. Even marry her and get it all for free.

    Not sure what you are looking for ?

    Just get a load of this baby

  9. MultiCharts has just announced their C#/Dot-net platform offering.
    This is a very significant development.
    You could do 90% of everything in Powerscript, but for the other 10%, they now have the ultimate solution.
