Simple automated trading software for IB?

Hello all -

I'm a newer trader using IB and eSignal.

Does anyone have a recommendation for an easy software that will let me prepare a group of trades with brackets before the day begins?

I know the execution prices. I would like to prepare 10-20 trades with profit/stop brackets I could execute repeatedly through the day.

I could actually send the trades manually, and more than once in order to build positions. I'm just looking for something where I could prepare my trades ahead of time and easily send to IB.

Thanks - the members of this website are an incredible resource.

Take a look at the Excel DDE info in the TWS user guide on the IB website. It sounds like just what you are looking for.

 

Thanks Aaron - will take a look at it.

ButtonTrader is a nice tool, and would probably do the trick for you once you climb it's learning curve.

Simple automated trading software for everyone. Any ideas?

 

eSignal (feed) and IB (broker) are exactly my setup and I use Stock Watch Pro http://www.crontech.com/swp for automated trading, it's very easy to use for both novice and seasoned traders alike.
