maxchinaski, I cannot get hidden orders to work. I think the problem is because hidden orders only work with the ISLAND exchange, and I am using the SMART exchange. From the log file, it appears that TWS-Link is setting the flag for hidden orders, but the IB TWS ignores it and does not show...

maxchinaski, I've been using TWSLink. I like it a lot. It seems to be much more reliable and faster than IBController for Amibroker. If you have a moment. I have a couple of questions. (1) How do you submit a a market-on-close ("MOC") order? I can't quite figure out to do it with...

Try http://www.trade-commander.org, which is free. It's made for autotrading with the IB TWS, but it has a built-in email function, so you could use to email signals to whoever you want.

A few other providers to consider: (1) premiumdata.net, has both stocks and futures data at reasonable prices, including historical data back to 1979 depending on the commodity: (2) msodata.com, looks pretty reasonable: investorLink service is priced at a flat rate of $19.95/month...

Done. You're on ignore.

Actually, shorts do read message boards. See Cohodes lawsuit against harry3866, a poster on the TTWO board a few years ago.

I didn't mean that the location of the logfile was related to the limit price for the orders. What I meant was that I saw something in the logfile that leads me to suspect that the reason that orders are not being transmitted is due to the limit price. Specifically, the log file contained this line:

I found the log file. I think the problem may be because I need to round off the prices for the limit orders to just two decimal places.

maxchinaski, With respect to a log file, I used this line: TWSLink.INITDLL(2,"twslink.log",6,1,3,4000); However, I searched for twslink.log on my computer drives and could not find the file after executing the Amibroker script. Concerning the stop and profit orders, I need option (3)...

maxchinaski, how do I get the average cost for an order that has been executed? I've been using TradeCommander and it's been working pretty well, but I can't figure out how to get average cost because I get an error with GET_CONTRACT_VAL. To get average cost, I've been using IBcontroller and...

Thanks. I just tried this with Amibroker and it worked. Looks very promising. I'll have to read your documentation in more detail and check out all of features of TradeCommander in more detail.

Thanks for the reply. I would certainly appreciate a sample for use with Amibroker. Presently, Amibroker links to the TWS using IB controller. Your application, however, looks like it's much more capable than IBcontroller and can take advantage of more features.

Is there a way to use TradeCommander with Amibroker?

On the Hong Exchange, I like the Hang Seng Index and the Hang Seng China Enterprise Index, and on the Singapore Exchange, I like the MSCI Taiwan Index.

If you're thinking of going with the Motley Fool, just remember, when they use the word fool, they really mean it, as in if you want to lose 50% of your money, follow their investment advice: By Bill Mann (TMF Otter) January 5, 2001 I guess it should not be surprising that many people...

Why don't you take a look at InteractiveBrokers, where you have some choice in how your stop limit is triggered? You can choose from last, double last, bid/ask and so forth. I usually select double last for trading equities.
