An easy way to look at strange emails in outlook express is as follows: Right Click on the message and select properties select the details tab push the message source button It will come up with a text version of the message. Sometimes you will just see garbage if it is in mime...

Thanks, I have the API but it's for patssystems basically to replace J-Trader. A more useful API would be an interface to JTrader. Interfacing to patssystems looks like a heck of a lot of work, which few would consider worthwhile.

I find J-Trader to be a piece of crap. Even though I use it with one of my brokers it has many minuses. 1) Uses way too much screen space. 2) No JTrader API 3) No stop limits from the dome screen (how stupid is that? they put in stops but can't put in the really useful one for globex.)...

Yes must be central time. The CME is in Chicago so a lot of futures stuff is in central time.

To automatically login to windows 2000 you must enter a few registry settings manually. Below is a link explaining the entries needed. http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/13/

I would not advise bothering with the Patssystem API. It's not an API for J-Trader to just put in orders but instead an API to replace J-Trader. Can you say a lot of work? plus all kinds of validation required because you have to go direct to their servers.

Def, Any word when the globex stop-limits will be implemented? Thanks

Def, How are the Globex stop-limit orders progressing, a couple of weeks ago you said they were testing them and then nothing since then. Thanks

I would like to see two additional functions added to the ActiveX interface. 1) a ModifyOrder method to update the price and auxprice of an existing order. 2) a TransmitOrder method to transmit or retransmit a changed order. Without these basic functions modifying orders becomes...

It depends on what datafeeds you want. I just use them for data through their API and use the following feeds: $150 - Base fee includes Stocks and indices $10 - Globex emini You basically just subcribe to the minimum realtick level and add data services you want.

Def, I have a suggestion for the next IB customer poll. See how many users are tired of removing the tws toolbar every time they start the program. :) Keeping that bar up must be a religion at IB, considering how long this simple request has been ignored. BTW I do appreciate all your...

I think one thing everyone should be aware of is that it isn't always that easy to offset a position when your broker goes down. When IB went down a few months back I finally got a backup broker but it doesn't help much in that IB is often unable to tell you the status of any orders you...

Yes the activex stuff is quite straightforward just look at the testactivex project and thats all you need. Other than tws not currently working with it you can see all the functionality. Basically its all contained in the two files called tws.h and tws.cpp this is a wrapper interface class...

I get the same error message with the activex and talked to tech support about it. They were unaware of the problem and said they would investigate. No timetable given. 127.0.0.1 is the IP address for the local machine that's why you may see multiple programs using it. It is used for...

I downloaded it from their site and will start working on integrating it now. It says you need to get the latest beta version of tws to use it which is not standalone. They give a couple of sample programs which show the functionality. Interestingly enough they also have a sockets versions...

The real problem with IB's method of stops is the lag they put into the system. At a specific price there are N number of contracts sitting as limit orders waiting to be filled. When your stop price hits there you have to wait for IB to get the quote and then submit the order. By this time...

H M U Z are the standard month codes. When I called up realtick they indicated they use C I P T for the globex traded contract to separate it from the pit traded contract which uses the standard lettering.

fooliosbrother - Thanks for the tips :)

Oh sorry, to clarify I would like to change the price of a stop order with hotkeys just like you can with a limit order. This is not a stop-limit order so there is only one price.

Haas - I can't comment on order speed for J-Trader since I haven't used it enough. But according to previous comments I've read on EliteTrader they seem to be consistently quick. fooliosbrother - Thanks for the tip that would make it much easier I would still have the problem from the status...
