Yep, they misuse all the fields in a different way to transport AD and VOL info. (ButtonTrader knows how, but if you are clever you can decipher it as well :) ).

The AD-NYSE is not a normal quote, although you can request it in your TWS-sheet, it will not display values there (if you do that in ButtonTrader, you will see the AD volumes because we convert these "none visible fields" in valid ones)....In TWS, you should use the Market-Startistics-page >>...

Yes, I noticed it as well. looks like one of the major Market-Makers is on holiday? (one side of the bid/ask is 4m instead of 12m).

You could look at ButtonTrader (in front of TWS), which has this feature and many more advanced RiskManagement-settings.

Yes, my vote is on this one as well.

Thank you for your detailed reply, See my comments below. In my experience the Pink does not unambigiuosly mean this (or always work this way). Because Pending-orders or Buggy-orders are also showed in Pink. Therefore I would like to apply for a change in the color-system: ALWAYS light-blue...

The good thing with the IB-API-model is that there is soo much choice!....For each IB-trader there is something that fits its needs and budget..just great !

Here: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/tools/commercialTools.php?ib_entity=llc and here http://www.interactivebrokers.com/toolbox/servlet/FreelanceTools.currentNew Lots of interesting and useful software.

You can look at ButtonTrader which will always work. It even has code in it for monitoring not functioning Stop-orders, and will intervene when it does not function, and correct it immediately.

You are correct. And this will be solved in 2 a 3 weeks (then a new set of documentation will be available). Thanks for the suggestion.

This is NOT correct. You can easily configure your ButtonTrader Strategies with the feature "Attached-to-Open-Order", in which case the Target and the Stop order are both send to the IB-Servers at the SAME moment as your Open Order. If you have questions how to do this in ButtonTrader, please...

That is still not sufficient when you don't get the Account and Budget and Positions through the FIX-protocol......If market-date is added it is a good step forward (although this is still not presented on the website)...but we can not use ButtonTrader to connect to FIX (and bypass TWS) when we...

I think we should not try to request IB a “solution” that fits into a particular application specific model (every charting-tool, mentioned here in this thread, has its own). But instead we should define a low-level protocol that we all can use. I understand that IB-soft can not (at...

Yes normal with IDEALPRO.

Ah.. good to hear that it is planned (no problem, I will be patient). And yep, I noticed the Charts do not offer long periods as well (yet), but it would already be great when the API could have the same as the charts. Thanks !

No YM should work (and RTHonly is something else then rth-triggering, and applies only for USA-stocks, all order-types). My advice : switch on "Audit Trail" then you can send this not working action to IB-helpdesk to explain/solve.

Was the Market order for a USA-Stock ?? Then it is still before RTH and default is RTH-Only (If you have not switched it off you should). PS: TWS shows a warning-box when you try to send a RTHonly order.

"edemo" is the user-name of the single-account demo TWS. You need to request the tickers that you like to use, so Future tickers or Cash-tickers you need to request. Insert-ticker (menu in the grid), and then EUR, CASH, USD, IDEALPRO will insert the EUR/USD ticker.
