smodato, Let me be clear in saying that I do sleep very quietly knowing my software is out there running. =) I'm not sure about the configuration you proposed because I'm ignorant as to how (or if) VB6/TWS/IB can be made to play together, but it sounds fine. If TWS can be interfaced with...

heech: FIX is a bit lower-level than what you're describing with NinjaTrader, but not terribly. With FIX, you send a command to open a position, and your side (long or short) is specified as an argument to that command. You can then query for execution using other commands, and monitor your...
