I use a controller that handles events from the TWS API. So I have my own interface that is implemented in a class that extends their Ewrapper. This class also implements a Messagehandler. So the controller issues a request to the Model that implements my interface and extends the Ewrapper...

Yes building that now. Will use data from the database and just replay the chart. So I have a testing interface to replace TWS API same functionality but orders will fill at their price when a candle range fore fills the orders price. good enough for testing as I only trade liquid stocks.
