OK, sorry I got sidetracked for a few days there but back on task now. Here is the code with comments for my complleted IB form to connect and get data for one symbol. This is from the form1.cs tab in my VS2005. None of the code in any other files (or tabs) was altered by me. If anyone tries to...

It's alive!!! I changed the last section of code to the following: private void axTws1_tickPrice(object sender, AxTWSLib._DTwsEvents_tickPriceEvent e) { double last = new double(); if ((e.id == 1) && (e.tickType ==4)) { last...

Now I've tried to hook this form up based on ETLURKER's animated gif tutorial in the previous link but am having no luck so far. My first question- in the solution folder under references I have three various references to TWS. I first added a reference which showed up as TWSlib. I then...

Here's my form for getting connected to IB and getting some ES quotes. This is all drag and drop to design it. Menu has connect, disconnect, and exit options. The form doesn't do anything yet but I'm working on that. <img src ="http://elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1409250">

Excellent!!! I remembered running across this a few months ago and searched last weekend for about an hour looking for it with no success. This is exactly the bite sized piecies I was talking about. I will try to recreate this in C#.NET and see how far I get. Thanks.

I have in the past but am looking for much more flexibility. The four programs I currently run are IB, Rediplus, Esignal, and Neoticker. Neoticker is great, but my goal here is to learn to interact directly with my trading platforms.

Sorry, didn't mean that as offensive but I can see how it reads that way. I was thinking that the largest percentage of reference materials, books, videos, and other learning resources are all in English and the language barrier must be a formidable step to overcome before even starting to...

easy there, baby steps. I'm not looking for every tick. One tick will do for right now. More of an academic exercise at this point. I realize there may be tools better suited to high frequency data and trading. I'm nowhere near there. The c# / SQL express combo is free and I have reasons outside...

So this is where I am currently at. I’ve installed Visual Studio, watched the video series and done my first “Hello World” program. Like I said- complete newbee. I’ve looked at the IB sample API programs but they really make no sense to me. They have a VB.NET example, but it looks like...

So I’ve been wanting to learn how to program for a while now. I have zero experience and am having a tough time getting started. I can find beginner resources, and I can find trading resources, but not many beginner resources specifically related to trading. I also get confused because there...

Some suggestions- I wouldn't use IP addresses. Most home networks get dynamic addresses and using the IP will cause problems when the address changes. I just use the windows computer name. I've also never pinged, tested ports, or done anything else from the command line to get it working...

XP pro and XP home will work fine together. I have XP pro, home and win2k all together in one group. On XP pro you have to join a domain. So let's say you name it domain.com. XP home doesn't have domains, it has workgroups. So you need to name your workgroup domain. no .com. Kepp your workgroup...

I've set up synergy a few times now without any troubles. Are your computers setup to share files and printers? Do they all show up in (depending on OS) network neighborhood or network places>view worgroup computers? This is usually all the set-up you need. If you can double click another...

No laughs flier, that looks like a very good effort.

And one more thought- I've never used a hardware switch and maybe I'm wrong here, but I was under the impression that there was actually a switch. So to switch from one box to the other you had to flip some switch. Synergy just takes care of it- move your mouse off one monitor and it instantly...

You can set it to load at start up. Second part can be an issue. I run three computers with synergy and I actually have the keybords and mouses attached to all three. The two that aren't used are tucked away next to box. With synergy you can use both the attached keyboard / mouse or the one...

You guys all completely passed over this suggestion. It's free, it's simple,'no hardware, nothing to switch, instant transition between monitors on different computers, easy to setup,... Only takes a few minutes to try and you'll like it.

You can try this utility if you're having problems with resolutions not supported by your video card. I added widescreens to some old matrox cards and powerstip fixed all my problems. It says it's $29, but I never paid anything. I get a message box for about 15 seconds at startup as a result...

Strange problem steve. I can't think of anything an excel sheet could do to screw up TWS like that. I have run the original PRV sheets posted by MAK in the other thread and they've never caused problems like that. They are cpu intensive and I need to run them on my fastest computer. Common...

Do any of you know if the nvidia NVS will support 4 DVI widescreen monitors at 1440 x 900 each? I'm currently running them with a matrox, but to get the right resolution I've had to use something called powerstrip and the whole setup is a little buggy. Thanks.
