Scripting tools for Options that work for IB TWS

Any recommendations on scripting tools that interface with IB's TWS api? Recommendations are welcomed.

 

IB provides spreadsheet samples to fire off orders from Excel. The amount of logic you can handle is less than coding java/python/whatnot but depending on what you are trying to do, it will work.

Just take the sample spreadsheets, modify it and test against papertrader before going live. GL

Edit: Watch out for duplicate orders when a criteria is met. You will need to "remember" order has already been fired off and not try to keep sending it in a loop

 

Where are these sample spreadsheets. BTW - Thx U

 

I am no longer an IB customer and don't have TWS installed. Google it. It should be in TWS install directory IIRC

 

You have to install IB API bundle to get those spreadsheets. I think it is not part of base TWS install
