Where would I find the "Alerts" among the menu (File+Account+Help)?

Dear- As soon as BUY/SELL order is executed partially/fully, one hope to ring an alarm in designated file/folder, such as c:\Myfile\MySound\buy.wav When I search the menu in IB, I can find File/ApplicationSetting/GlobalConfiguration and Configuration/SoundManager but nothing can be done as...

Welcome to the new world filled with enough suckers. If you don't find any sucker around you, then you are a sucker. -From some movie

Instead of asking stop math, why don't you skip if you do not like? OR welcome if you correct my post.

Since stock market should be zero-sum before expense(tax+commission), roughly 50% should be a loser. Furthermore, after the expense, only 5% can stay as a winner in the long run. Therefore lot of idiot, even more stupid than him. Let us congratulate coming out of idiot, for the market prosper.

Suppose he was successful for THE 25 years, with annual 10% compounded. Then his initial seed of 100K must become current value of 100*1.1^25 = 1083.471 = 1100K. With 20% compounded, he must have now 100*1.2^25 = 9539.622 = 10000K. Therefore if he does not exhibit current 1000K or 10000K...

If you are successful to use PERL to do the three things mentioned above, I can trade C# code for the three thing by scrapping, in exchange of your PERL code. Did you do it for the IB only? I like to see code WITHOUT use of DOM. Of course, I agree DOM is not magic. But it is a new technology...

IC. By help of the book, only 3) can be done. By use selenium 1) and 2) were successsful to other broker (possibly many brokers), to scrap the webpage. My helper with knowledge of C# and selenium may work 3) next week. Best scenario is to program to trade to many brokers in many countries...

I did not buy this online book yet. If I buy this book, is it possible to use Python to 1) get real-time data from IB server 2) get holding stocks and ordered info 3) send new order to IB server? Please tell me if you have read this book. For IB only, this one book might be helpful...

I heard beautiful Soup is another option for parsing. Tell me if there is some advance. Please use plain and easy English for me. I am not talking about particular broker, such as IB. Unlike other traders, I like to use brokers of at least three countries.

Agree, but there is some advance in selenium, compared with 90's technology such as PERL, if I heard correctly. For example, even if the webpage is changed a little bit by webmaster, selenium can detect and adjust it by use of DOM. Back in 90's, there was no concept of DOM.

Thanks for good comment. I agree / Programming skill is not sufficient for a good trader with fair PnL, although it is necessary for sure. Good logic is 95% and good programming skill is only 5%. It has been ONLY three years since selenium is used widely. Possibly, after next 10 years...

I feel to say sorry to those who makes money for programming to other traders.

If someone offer me annual 26% logic for sure, I will pay him 100K or 1000K.

I am not so rich man. My friends and family can help me for such a work, like delivering and communicating between broker server and me. There might be rich man somewhere to pay > 10K. However, main trading logic for buy/sell costs, of course, a lot more than 10K or even 100K. Already I spent...

Fortunately, it was successful to use C# to communicate web page of broker, with selenium and DOM, which was introduced just few years ago. using OpenQA.Selenium; using OpenQA.Selenium.IE; using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI; Please note that most selenium books are published in the last 3...

There are more than 10 trading-related books in my shelves. It is good to hear any good books recommended always.

Thanks for letting me know the book at http://www.systematictrading.org/info by Robert Carver. I didn't know the book.

I do not understand what you mean. By "slippage", probably you mean derivatve, however I am a strictly equity trader. Also most is big stock, like SnP500, in my personal watch list. Although I cannot understand "JP Morgan shops it around to their various hedge fund buddies and/or dark pools."...

As above, second choice (probably best) is to open papaer account, to find a good strategy based on long-term backtest. Unlike other markets, we have data for 100 years, to allow deep and long backtest. If you find a strategy of annual 26% compounded, the your account may be even. Please...
