Youtube clip for IBPy / seems we can use API to BUY order in IB

  1. Dear-

    I just found a clip in Youtube, explaining delivery of BUY order to IB server, thru IB API.



    If this is true,

    1) Suppose we prepare a file c:\MyOrder.txt (roughly 20 lines) as follows.

    MSFT BUY 100 30.00
    AXP BUY 200 60.00
    ****
    DD BUY 100 40.00

    Can we deliver these 20 orders together, after reading external text file, to IB server using Python API?

    2)How about contingent order as follows

    MSFT BUY 100 32.00 30.00

    which means that deliver 100 buy order of MSFT at limit $30.00, as soon as the current price hits $32 during the day.

    3) These codes are for Python. Can we do the same work at R, instead of Python?

  4. you must be kidding. This guy is the most retarded guy I have ever come across in finance space. Quant what? This dude does not even know how to spell quant. Watch 2-3 of his videos and you will know exactly what I am talking about. Other than browsing some software websites he has so far not demonstrated he is capable of writing a single line of code or for that matter able to analyze time series even in the most basic manner. I guess nowadays even rapists can call themselves "quants". Goodness.

     
  5. Volpunter probably point me.

    Although I am pretty newbie in NYSE, I spent more than 5 years of trading record with API ( foreign) which shows consistently winning.
