Investor RT from www.linnsoft.com works on Mac OSX. I tried it some time ago on PC platform though. It might work for you. Good luck

just my 2 cents interesting article, but about the #2... this is something from my area of expertise... I'm a musician, over 22 years of experience... you can practice all you want, have an impressive resume, but if the job market tanks...well, you get the picture. It doesnt depend on how...

If you want to build your own Visual Basic app, you'll need Visual Basic compiler. The example I posted is to be used with Visual Basic, not excel. Jaba

Baron, thanx a lot for your reply. The problem with Mac OS: after clicking on the connect button a java app window opens, it is all grey. I can't see anything there. On PC I can see the tabs, userlist etc... This happens on 3 Macs I have different system versions, from antique 8.6 to 9.2 (the...

ok, since I see people are requesting this over, and over again... I put together a ridiculously simple VB Project. It will use ActiveX API to connect to the TWS, then request and display quotes for NQ contract. Use cdemo login. It's downloadable from my Visual Basic Projects directory, URL at...

well, you need to know VB of course. Then just use the VBA scripts from the excel file. This will get ya going. There's a new discussion board on IB website with plenty of info on the API programming also. If everything else fails message me, and I'll try to put together a basic app that...

no, IB only allows 0.01 increments

Not so fast. Java makes operating system less stable. I have enough of this with TWS from IB. I don't need to put the stability of my trading rig at risk by using a browser+Java plugin on top of it. It's not necessary. There are simpler, more effective solutions around. IRC doesn't increase...

Bull, the server-based search engine is only as good as the list of available tokens/parameters from which you sonstruct your scans. I've been using Investor/RT for quite a while to very successfully scan a nice amount of stocks realtime, using the scans I designed, custom indicators, etc...

well, to be honest, I don't use Excel for that at all, so not much help here, sorry. Instead of fighting with shortcomings of Excel, I simply built a simple VB application that links my trading software (Investor/RT from linnsoft) to IB's TWS via ActiveX API. The Investor software takes care of...

two issues: 1 - So far I coudn't make the chatroom Java plugin on my Macintosh. I have all my chat, email, etc stuff on Mac OS, I don't wanna mess with Java on my trading PC. Is there any way to make it work on Mac OS? 2 - Is there any reason in particular why Elitetrader's chatroom is not...

Maybe I'm missing the point, but why don't you take a look at macros in ActiveX Excel file that comes with TWS? Every single piece of code that you could use is there. Good luck Jaba

Consider Investor RT from Linnsoft. It can scan a huge database searching for instruments that match your criteria, backtest, create performance reports, tons of indicators, charting, custom real-time programming language, etc.. Jaba

Is it possible to create a socket client using VB? What about library file, how would I import it into VB project?

Even better: get quotetracker from www.quotetracker.com, then subscribe to www.scottrader.com data feed (free). Hope this helps. Jaba

I was just building the test socket client, and I noticed that get account info returns positions in my portfotlio that I have already closed. It says for example NQ size 0 value such and such. then when I buy ES it says ES size1, and NQ size 0, when I sell ES it is ES size 0 and NQ size 0. Not...

Post a question, somebody will answer...

I found PowerMenu to be a bit more stable than PushPin, I might be wrong though. I had some problems with PushPin under some software, problems which disappeared when I switched to PowerMenu. Just my 2 cents. Jaba

Great. However, it doesn't say what the vertical refresh rate is :). Belkin's also support large screens...at 60Hz...lol :) Just out of curiosity, what are you using this monster for? 8X1? It does look interesting. I'm wondering if they have ADB port emulation for using 1 keyboard/mouse under...
