    Hi

    I like Tradestation and I like Easylanguage but I want to trade with Interactivebrokers. Is there a bridge-program somewhere or is there another solution to this?

    Grateful for advice!!

    from what I understand, there is a program that will make the connection between them for you. I haven't tried it but was also interested in TS with IB. If you try it please leave a post with details of how successful it is in this thread. I'd really appreciate it.
    The program is called TradeBullet and the URL is http://www.tradebullet.com

    I've (finally, after much aforethought) settled for using MultiCharts which understands EL and ButtonTrader which is a more advanced (but uglier!) version of a DOM like the matrix of TS.
    The problem is the learning curve with ButtonTrader. I find the manuals to be well written yet the possible permutations and complexity of the thing are daunting - much more than the Matrix or the DOMs that are available elsewhere. Which isn't a bad thing, right? The more complex then the more powerful and the more control you have. Its just a matter of learning it.

    I'll post later when I've found out how they work together with IB.
    in case you are interested in ButtonTrader and MultiCharts the URLS are: http://www.buttontrader.com and
