I have had a simliar IB project progammed in the past to help me automate my system with good results. I had some extra requirements to link TS with IB. Here is their link if interested pitrading.com If you want to know more about how my project worked out, just page me. If your task...

Unless the republicans have taken over mars, global warming is beyond man's control. Global Warming on Mars? Please see the southpark episode where Gore is hunting man-bear-pig.

TS is a great platform for charting. Its one of the best. The latest TS platform (8) is much better than TS2000i because you don't have to worry about the GlobalServer quote server. All the real-time data is done on their back-end. Again, TS 8 is a very good platform. Data is reliable...

How far back do you need?

What do you trade (Stocks, Futures, etc.)? How often do you trade and on what timeframe (Intraday or End-Of-Day)? Having read so many trading books, I am sure I can recommend something for you.

Thanks for the help.
