Yes it does, but it's mostly about the API: https://groups.io/g/twsapi You're welcome.

Hi. I did look at debugging the code, but although I can code VBA up to a point, this one is beyond my ken. Regarding reporting the outfit, it's not worth my time and the aggravation/paperwork going with it. If I find no fellow (wannabe)-user on this site with a solution or word from the devs...

Thanks to you both for your replies. The error is a "procedure declaration does not match description of event" compile error; the VBA compile error is thrown immediately upon loading, whether or not TWS is loaded, so it's something to do with the code and not TWS setup or version(s). Thanks...

"Sorry for your $35 loss." OK, I'm a bit rusty on the ambiance and vibes, not having posted or asked questions here for a while. So I'll narrow it down explicitly for the 2018 zeitgeist... My question, background or details aside, is technical in nature and addressed to potential users of the...

Hi, I bought that purportedly IB TWS trading spreadsheet a few months ago from http://www.tradinggeeks.net/downloads/interactive-brokers-excel-trader. My excuse is that it sounded like a good idea a the time, considering IB's own DDE spreadsheet, or should I say Dante's Inferno :) Also the...

Hi. Sorry for the late reply. I'm not sure what could cause these problems, you could review your Excel setup first for all your settings related to external links, security settings etc. The next thing you could do is call Sterling support. They always try to be helpful but I got the...

No, these problems are not normal for 1500 links as you describe, even with a slow machine like a P4. Once a RTD link is loaded, it should update dynamically. I use RTD in spreadsheets (via QuoteLink) for both IB and IQFeed quotes and in term of performance I see no difference with DDE...

I'm using RTD only for getting position info. The syntax is: =RTD("Position.Server", , "SBUX", "E", "xxxx", "nPos") =RTD("Position.Server", , "SBUX", "E", "xxx", "fPosAvgPrc") The first one is the size and the second is the avg price. "xxxx" is the last 4 digits of your account...

Hi. Yes, these look like good ideas. I'll try that code. Thanks a lot for the help and for taking the time to reply: it is much appreciated. Elvis

Hi. My code fails to trap "Not available for borrow" errors (please see below). Note that I'm using VBA on a spreadsheet. It's a minor annoyance, but I'm stumped for the error(s) that I'm sure are in my code. Thanks in advance for any feedback, Elvis =========================...

Brethren, kowtow to Chuck Norris! Time to revisit this thread: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=127184 "Chuck Norris doesn't predict the price of oil. Oil just does whatever the fuck Chuck Norris says!" "Chuck doesn't trade with the trends. Trends follow his...

You ain't kidding. Started out as a small project to attach stop orders to open positions and now I'm building PredatorPro: the Kludge Edition :D:D :D

Got it. It's clear now and that's exactly the explanation what I was looking for. Thanks to you and syswizard for taking the time to reply. It's much appreciated. Elvis

Thanks to you both for your replies. I can see that I didn't explain myself correctly, sorry about that. I understand the distinction between position and order in Sterling, but unless I misunderstand the process, if I want to close a position--forget about adding to it for now--I need to do...

Hi. I hit a little snag in my VBA coding and I'd like to know if the following is possible: Open a position from the UI --> Assigned OrderRecordID by the system Close or add to above position from API with ClOrdID created at close/add-to order time, instead of OrderRecordID I understand...

You're asking why a moped and a Ferrari run different on the same gasoline :-)

I'll assume you're using XP. 1. Click on Start/Settings/Control Panel/Regional and Language Options 2. Select the "Language" tab. 2. Click the "Details" cmd button on the "Language" tab. You can select a new keyboard language and layout from that menu.

Simple problem, simple solution. ATI and NVidia don't live well together. I'm even surprised that you were able to make your stuff work at all. Many boxes will just lock up on you if you try the mix-and-match ATI/NVidia stunt :-) Get rid of one or the other and uninstall all drivers from the...

I also used STC and you're ready for the exam if your score is the average over all practice exams. You'll probably do a few % points over your home score and wrap it up with plenty of time to spare.

Hey, don't be cruel... You didn't get the point (or I put it across badly). It's not that I really care what they name them. It's the attitude. I'm just pointing out the pervasive "holier than thou" stance that peppers many of the threads on ET. I simply don't see what annoints retail...
