Of course, I have income to pay such as $10/M for data feed. However we may need a safe (sustainable) way for the feeding. If you don't like it, do not do it.

Dear- Using the yahoo quote, we may catch (see) almost real-time quote, as in http://finance.yahoo.com/quote/MSFT?p=MSFT It seems that the "as of" time under the quote is within ONE MINUTE of my local computer screen. If so, we can automatically scrap the website for personal watch list(for...

Please do not make a noise while I am studying seriously, please.

Most country, central bank can print currency (instead of REAL MONEY) as much as they want. Devaluation is also one of many risks too. Many says FRB raise prime rate this winter, also other countries may follow the rate increase too. If so, probably this kind of (national or sovereign) bond...

Great! This link is pretty close to what I was looking for. I agree that there is NO free and safe way AT ALL. Personally at least 10 or 20 countries SHOULD BE basketed, to avoid bankrupcy risk of one or two countries. If current using IB offers such lending, I may invest the national bond...

Unfortunately, current close of $25 is almost same as 10 years ago(2006), as shown in https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/DBV?ltr=1 . Is there any yield(like dividend in stock) that a newbie did NOT find?

Appreciated if you show me some link (or others) for newbie like me.

Thanks for helpful start point. As Buffets shows roughly 12% outperform over the index, for the last 50 years (if I heard correctly), personally the 12% (annual compounded) might be the best return rate IN MY EXPERIENCE. Although the invest length is less than 10 years, I am confident for the...

Good to hear you. Over many years, return rate (before expense of tax and commission) was annual 25% roughly. However after the expense of annual 15% final return rate (in my pocket) was ONLY 10%. (Tax rate is 15/25=60%) Unless I find another holy grail, my current trading logic may show the...

Dear- Suppose a trader shows roughly ONLY 10% (compounded) return rate over many years. (after tax, unfortunately, due to heavy trading cost) As below, there are lots of countries with national bond rate with higher than annual 10%. How about buying treasury bond of 20 countries, for expected...

Quite possibly there may NO free things to do. They may make money from interest from stock loaning, or possibly from restriction to phone only.

The book by Chan is worth to read, as well as MATLAB code. I bought it my self too. However, there might be another alternative way to trade automatically. Try Selenium for web-crawling and siculi for screen automation. Both are introduced within last few years and most does NOT even know it.

Instead of IB's API, try to consider alternative way as below. IB may NOT be cheapest commission for trading. 1) Web Crawling by C# Selenium (auto trading by web) 2) sikuli (handling any screen) with JAVA and Python Lots of helpful clips are given in youtube.

Dear- The following link seems to explain automatix option trading at binary.com If this work with siculi, I guess we can trade equity at IB (Web or WTS), WITHOUT difficult API. Furthermore, we can trade ANY BROKER in ANY COUNTRY, as long as the broker provide WebPage or any platform. Why...

Good comment! Please note that my tool is NOT just for IB only. Hope to find a auto-trading tool, for any brokers in the world. There might be some broker with cheaper commission than IB. Some country may charge less tax than US 1040 income tax rate.

Thanks a lot for helpful comments. I will spend time to study python and Sikuli.

Main point is NOT just for IB, but hope to trade automatically using ANY brokers in the world.

Note that stock market were open for the last 400 years. If there is ONE SINGLE TRADER with logic of 20% compounded, then his asset is now 1.2^400 in case that his gggrandfather was an average person. With simpler case of 100 years, 1.2^100 = 82817975 means that his asset is now 8181 times...

Dear- Today I happended to see the link at http://www.winautomation.com/features/ for basket (bulk) order of 100 lines, for example. 1) May we use the above software to IB TWS, for 100 orders prepared in advance? 2) May we use the above software to IB WebTrader (Beta), for 100 orders...

Instead of daily 3%, if there were single person who develope annual 20% logic (roughly 0.1% consistently), then Buffet and Gates are broke now. There was NO person at all. I am sure that there WILL BE no one from now too. Note that modern stock market was running over the last 400 years...
