Quote from syswizard:

Depends on the type of "bridge": data or orders
DATA:

ORDERS:

Keep in mind, syncing the order status and position status between the platforms is still a problem....ie a signal in tradestation may indicate "buy" and a long position, yet IB may not have gotten the fill, etc.
Very tricky stuff.
You've got to actually trigger the order to IB from an INDICATOR, wait for the fill from IB, and then place the order by triggering a signal in tradestation. Even this approach has problems: the market may have moved away from your fill price.

Hmm..didnt realise that...have to go do some research and get back to this
