Inspiring idea, thanks for sharing.

Use IB executin platform but other datafeed.

The topic of this thread is better to be @ Reasons for failure in mechanical trading systems@ Automation is just a way of executing your trade rules, except the case of high-frequency machine scalping, how can an ATS be profitable, if its strategy cannot prove success in manual trading...

Def, will appreciate it if IB could send an alert if the trading schedule is changed in typhoon season, currently have to check HK observatory site from time to time then

IB is going to public ? Will this bring some change to their current market strategy ?

Hi, I save my IB TWS workspaces in a file and restore this workspace file when I install/upgrade to a new version of TWS. But except the TWS pages displayed, this method seems not to have also saved my other preferences of trading. For example, it does not save my preference for general order...

Redduke 1--I do not measure the IB excecution speed, but according to my experience , it is very fast. It you get filled with some unreasonable slippage, check it and you will see it is probably more due to the nature of this market. This contract is manipulated in short-term by some big...

Hi, Redduke, I am still trading HSI mainly through IB. But also using ar HK based broker http://www.grandfg.com/eng/index.htm to diversify the risk.

The trading will get more interesting when it reachs 20000.

Thanks for all the replys. My ATS can alert me of the broker/exchange/internet failures/problems, but it cannot alert me anything if it is not running at all, therefore it can not alert me when OS reboots or ATS crashing . I will do checks of CPU temperature / hard drive & memory situation ...

I think when you have IB+metaserver/owanda+TS2000i/TS8 as the datafeed and charting software, the choice of order transmission software is multiple: hyperorder worked fine for me but nowadays I prefer tradebullet or ninjatrader( was previously trademagic) . But remember, there is still another...

in the trial version, you can have two symbols for free forever. If you only need two symbols, you do not have to buy a paid standard version

Yeah, metaserver has a version for IB,if you only trade two symbols , you can even pay zero for that.

As a native Chinese trader in Shanghai, I am always curious why some overseas firms try to recruit local to trade their market. Believe me, a successful trader anywhere would not bother to stay up at night to trade a market 13 hours later than his timezone. It's not a healthy life style. Unless...
