I bought this system too, but I'd like to point out that it's a system with many rules to follow. It takes a lot of practice to trade his system well and it is very difficult to master. It does have a good edge and Scott is legit in his methods. He even has a weekly review of every trade to look...

Butterfly, I ran across a short IBPy tutorial by sentdex on YouTube. Also, many videos he has uploaded on just about anything Python: https://www.youtube.com/user/sentdex/videos

Butterfly, this is awesome. Thanks, unfortunately I had to move on to programming my app in Java. But I'm sure others will find this useful. Is the ft variable now just a string of the OrderStatus() message? I could just use string processing to get the filled=0 value (0) into a "filled" variable?

2rosy, you are correct. I do not know why there isn't just a reqOrderStatus() function. But I thought the client ID needed to unique. Now that I look at it, it looks like clientID should be 0 for the API orders with a unique orderId (incremented) and for TWS orders the orderId is 0 and clientId...

I didn't think reqAutoOpenOrders() returns filled=0 or orderStatus()?

Thanks for the link. It certainly looks possible, however, for a beginner in programming what you sent is like trying to take a sip of water from a firehose. Other, more specific help on how to implement this into my code is welcome, thanks. Until then I'll keep studying methods, modules and...

Actually, this works only once but doesn't update the fillStatus variable every time an OrderStatus message is sent from IB. I looked at it's type and saw it was a tuple (immuttable) so I tried to define as a list and a dict but it still would not update on each new message (and you know IB...

I figured it out and because I'm not a total douche here is what I did: def print_orderstatus(msg): global fillStatus if msg.filled == 0 and msg.orderId==NextOrderId: fillStatus = 'NextOrderId=',msg.orderId,'filled=',msg.filled print 'FillStatus =', fillStatus if...

Thanks, appreciate all responses. But I am asking how my algorithm can get the "filled=0" field from the IB message into the code (as a variable or object....) so it can deal with it. Remember this is about developing an ATS and some of us really are beginners in programming.

Butterfly, now that we've got an orderStatus response from IB, how can I cancel/replace an order only if its filled=0. I was hoping for an example of code for changing a price. You said in the first few posts that what we did with the IB responses is what makes the difference in an effective...

How do you get the COB data feed. I'm finding it is very costly to get data for a COB of any kind.
