No need of e signal to mess up the code , I usually do it myself...LOL Thanks for the updating recommendation by the way, I just realized how much TWS has evolved since my last update.

It's OK, I found the problem.It's working now. there was an extra space before the expiry...

I have downloaded latest version of TWS and API 9.6, but it still doesn't work. There must be something in the order syntax. If someone can place a working order line for any future option, I would be really grateful. Thanks in advance.

ok , will do it tonight. Thanks.

Thanks a lot Maestro, I just hope there haven't been API "enhancements" since that will make my futures systems bug... I am just scared of those upgrades when everything works fine. Did you have this problem?

Hello, I have a problem. I have never been able to send a single futures option order with TWS excel API( I have no problem sending futures and stock orders ).I was hoping some here use IB and submit orders through DDE api. It's not a problem of id. It's not a problem of transmission...

What a noble attitude...

Valentine : That you will have problems doing so since there is no APRIL wheat...:p

I suspect it would be very hard to gather everybody for this thing... We need to reach everybody that is not an MM or specialist. It can work against us if only part of traders take a one day vacation. Almost impossible to do and too soon since this project will probably never get out of...

I've been customer of both and I would go with IB ( futures in my case ). - You cannot trade calendar spreads with TS - TS datas are bad and you cannot see implied prices in order book so their matrix is pretty much worthless. - TS cannot automate algos that make money, only crappy...

Is the institution on the other side of the trade known?

Nobody claiming it is a ponzi anymore... Wow... I have seen so many different possibilities about Medallion's trading it is hard to see the truth. The guys that left Rentec and got in trial for trying to sell their knowledge were talking about hacking POSIT trading venue, others talk...

Your equity curve is nice but: -Forget about trading 2 lots, 1 lot is enough for something you can't judge performances in real time. - You don't have much trades - You only have limited datas - Last year was good for any trend system. 2009 can be different. - Is your system based...

Try mypornmotion.com, it's in french but it is exactly like youporn, and I find there is better material.

I'm sure Steve Hirsch had this title in mind for a long time but didn't know how to use it. "Oh well, let's take this octuplet mother once and for all".

Thanks a lot guys. What about gold? Crude? 10 year note? Can you get some fills at midpoint without having to spend 3 hours to get it? Thanks.

The only thing that scares me in this transaction tax episode was the reaction of bank CEOs in the video where the tax was proposed... They acted like they already knew and simply agreed passively... Would you simply say "We just have to make sure not to drive volume abroad" if someone proposes...

Hello, I am quite new at trading futures options and I am glad of the quality option forum and posters we have here. The problem is that electronic futures options are thinly traded and I don't want to send order at the pit. So do you know a website where we can see the cumulative daily...
