    Sterling API Developer Thread

    Anyone have problems cancelling S-STP orders using clientIDs? All my other types of orders cancel fine, it's just these. Really annoying cause I like to create OCOs but the S-STPs only cancel about 60% of the time even if I send multiple cancels for it. I have to be glued to the computer to make...

    I need a laptop

    if you are only going to use it on this trip theres lots of really cheap used laptops on craigslist. thinkpad t41 should only cost 250 or so but not at the resolution you want (is that necessary)? or you can buy any random cheap laptop at bestbuy for 500 like an HP or Compaq. then you can...

    Quad 2.4 or Duo 3.0?

    I disagree. If your application isn't multithreaded (which it probably isn't) then a faster dual core would be better when dealing with more symbols and indicators. I have both and the dual core runs intensive applications faster than the quad core and both are overclocked to their max. I...

    Can anyone reflect on taking college psychology or behavioral finance for trading?

    I'm a psych major. Most useful thing that translated over to trading was the 4-5 stats courses I had to take. And because you study about and do a lot of experiments, you develop the mindset where things must be proven with the scientific method before believing it as truth. In other words being...

    Automating with Sterling Trader Pro

    Okay, I'll actually answer your question. In order to buy at the bid you need to know what the bid price is. Unfortunately sterling will not magically let you buy at the bid like wealthlab or whatever (though they should). In order to do that you have to register the symbol with the API and...

    Automating with Sterling Trader Pro

    I went 20x over my daily (electronic to boot) loss limit that day. It's not that shreddog doesn't want help with sterling. He just recommends you learn the language first. And learning by looking at example code is not the best way. You need to know the fundamentals. Since there isn't...

    Automating with Sterling Trader Pro

    I agree with shreddog. I lost half my account in 1 minute when I wrote my first ATS with sterling. Wasn't really that much but it sure was then and it set me back a few months on the learning curve. And I've been coding for 10+ years (though not professionally). It was because I rushed it and...
