When I glanced at Mark's AHK script, I had no trouble understanding what it did despite not ever having used AHK before, and with that as a starting point, I'll never have to rely on somebody else to adapt it to my needs. Being able to fix things myself is important to me, particularly as it...

Right, you did have that line commented out in your original code. This is so much better than Sleep because it doesn't depend on thread priorities, CPU load etc., which was a bit of a concern - you're either wasting time or risking strange behavior.

Hmmm, I definitely only have one Click command in my Loop (I think I used your V.3 as, ahem, inspiration), and I still get the second click. Based on my observation that "SetWinDelay, 100" (though I haven't been able to pinpoint how low it can go without causing trouble) seems to get rid of...

I have written my own auto-confirmation tool largely based on mark1's code (thanks for that, it saved me an awful lot of time), and I encountered a problem that may be related to what I've read here. The Transmit button of the Order Confirmation window gets clicked all right, but after that...

Hmmm...did he stop trading after June 2000? :confused: :p

Who would benefit from an IB-free board? The users, who can't discuss and freely exchange information? The advertisers, whose banners go unnoticed? Those who run the forum, who lose traffic? What word would you use to describe this forum if it weren't for all those IB-related discussions? My...

It would be nice to have a page manager that lets you use more than one set of pages, one at a time. I am using a multicurrency account to trade stocks in two different markets, US and Germany, and since I don't really need the German pages when I trade US stocks, and vice versa, it would be a...

This description is taken from the release notes for the new version: A relative BUY (SELL) order is submitted at the current Best Offer (Best Bid) plus (minus) the offset price. If the market moves before the trade executes, the price is recalculated as described and the order is resubmitted...

I just tried the new build, 731d (applet version), and the new layout manager is really excellent. Columns can be completely removed, and all the foreground and background colors for the main window can be customized. I can't comment on anything else though, since I'm never using new versions of...

@BigEd This will not help you with your problem, but in my opinion, 1280*1024 is a bit too much for even a really good 17" monitor. The maximum recommended resolutions are 1024*768 for a 17", 1280*1024 for a 19", and 1600*1200 for a 21/22" (and even that is considered too much by some people).

@tntneo Try creating an order, open the Order Ticket panel, and select Relative in the Pricing Field. Or create an order and change it to REL using the Type droplist, but this will tell you that you have to use the Order Ticket panel.

Does anyone know how Relative Orders work? I just discovered that option today (build 721a), but when I checked manual, user's guide, and release notes, I didn't find it mentioned anywhere.

This has been suggested before, but since the new version can display the current position in the main window, why not add a "close position" function (and hot key) that creates an order with the appropriate number of shares?

@tntneo I use my normal Buy and Sell hot keys to open the order window (e.g. I press S to create a sell order and press S again to open the order window for that sell order).

Hi Def, I just installed 712a, and I am a more than little irritated by the new feature that sorts transmitted orders by price. I admit that some people may find this function useful, so maybe there could be an option to toggle it on/off.
