It quit working because it is not compatable with the new version of IB. Email said 2 weeks for the update. Back to learning VBA... :)

This software is exactly what I wanted!! Thanks so much for the link!! This works much in the same fashion as Bloomberg DDE into Excel. If anyone has questions about it please feel free to PM. :)

Thanks Allen, I will give it a try and see if it does anything. I will post the results if I get it to work. Thanks again! :)

ty for the help, I got the excel file and API running and it feeds information into the excel file. Unfortunately, I know nothing of how to program VBA. I was hoping there was a method similar to the Bloomberg method of pulling data into Excel (DDE I think). I want a very simple file that...

Is there any tax advantage for trading the GLOBEX emini SP options vs the CBOE SP emini options or the CBOE large contract? I appreciate any help in advance! :)

Who is the best direct access broker for low margin requirements on options? Who is the best broker for interest paid on cash in the account? Who is the cheapest commission for option trading? :)

It happens all the time... What usually happens is that a broker server loses its connection with the exchange servers (or whatever the techie terms is), then the orders that have left the broker but have not been received by the exchange have to be dealt with. A customer may see this as...

How do I import real time positions from IB into Excel? I want to track my real time positions in an Excel file, is there an easy way to do this? What about other information like trade excution details? Thanks for any help. I did a search and did not see anything... :)

If you get cought you will get fired and that is all. Not barred from the idustry or anything so dramatic. You may even walk away with a warning. I have seen many poeple warned and one outright fired. From my observations your odds of getting caught if you do not tell are almost zero. But...

Bay Area California... Way out in the burbs I hear is cooling... But in the hot neighborhoods it has simply gone from days to a few weeks for a sale. Friend just sold a Rockridge (cool part of Oakland) house. Agent expected it to take 3 weeks. Someone paid cash, over the offer, on...

"It all depends..." Seperating execution from price is analgous to seperating take-off from landing in an aircraft. That said, it comes down to psychology a lot of the time. Control or no control. IMO... It is easier for most people to live with missing an execution than it is...

Get outside, go for a walk, play some golf, walk on the beach, whatever it takes. Sounds like you are losing your mind a bit. :)

Depending on the size of your order you can use a floor broker to execute this. Just give the broker your verbal instructions. I can tell by your "if/else" rhetoric that this is not what you want to hear. Sounds like you are looking to program this in. You need a broker who will...

I think what you mean is Order Cancels Order (OCO). Some brokers offer an OCO or Order cancels all. This allows you to have a below stop and an above limit sell and not risk going short if both execute. This order type is not recognized by exchanges or ECNs that I am aware of (things...

Stops can be either market or limit orders. This depends on your broker setup. Some have a stop that is a trigger to release a market order and other have a hard limit order. Trailing just means the stop order moves with the market price. If your trailing stop is .25 below market and the...

For a NYSE listed stock that trades 15 Million + you can just send a market order to the specialist or call it to a floor broker and you will not experience much, if any slippage. NOTE: In extreme market moving days you may want be extra cautious. (Sounded so lawyer-ish...) Get a feel...

It is important to understand what the broker is doing for you. Most ECNs and exchanges accept true markket orders. You will get filled very quickly as long as there is nothing wierd going on (short order, crossed market etc...). You will get filled at the market price no matter how low it is...

Sorry to add .02 when not asked. For what it is worth, most traders I know run mondays date starting a couple hours after the Friday open. :)
