Steve,
I love IB but your FIX implementation does not support order book download, account info and fill download. It also required that a Java gateway be running on the local machine.
Are there plans to add those improvements and get rid of the Java gateway?
Thanks,
Francis
I'm not sure what you mean by 'signals' but if those are orders then you can use TradeBullet to read those emails and send the order it contains to a broker.
Francis
You can do this with TradeBullet without any recoding. Just connect to your live account to get live quotes but send the orders to the Simulation account.

Steve,
I'm off-topic here but I'd like to know if the IBIDEALPRO minimum is 25000 units or USD$25000 in base currency? (e.g. EUR/USD minimum is ~$21000)
Thanks,
Francis
Hi Steve,
Was anything else added to the CTCI API like account information?
And can TWS be used at the same time on the same account? I know somone who wanted automated strategies through CTCI and still use TWS for discretionary trading. Last time I checked it wasn't possible.
Before...
I haven't done a full load test to measure performance but it appears to be as fast as the X-Trader platform for both market data and fills.
As to standards compliance, I'm sure you're aware that anyone who has this API had to sign a NDA so I can't comment on specifics.
There are custom...
That is not possible.
Besides, their FIX API is of limited value because it does not provide account statistics, market data, position info, open orders list, etc.
Francis
nononsense,
The FIX api is different than the X-Trader api; XT is not required and you can build a stand-alone client.
I don't use Linux so I don't know how to set it up from VMWare but I'm sure TT can help you if you post you question on their forum.
