Successful automated trading with Excel + IB TWS

Discussion in 'Automated Trading' started by travis, Oct 1, 2005.

  1. I don't think so...I traded some single stock futures about a year ago (i think)..on JNPR (and also YHOO if I remember correctly). The spreads were too wide then to make it worth while so I stopped. I haven't looked at SSF since then so don't know if the liquidity is better now. Anyway, I'd leave any type of pure arbing (for e.g., common vs SSF) to the big boys w/ the trading desks set up just to do that. I don't think there is much crumbs left to pick for the small guy w/o taking risk. jmo.

  3. Not true. Are you sure it wasn't superchart (tradestation 4)?

    You can test all related values to best bid/ask in Tradestation,
    but not market depth. Not everyone needs market depth,
    because it's very hard to interpret their movements
