    Jtrader API : new OCX...

    The best contact at PATS for any kind of support including conformance testing is jezza.sutton@patsystems.com There already is a JTrader yahoo group which gets about one post a month. I don't think the user base for the API is there to justify another group and its unlilkely to grow very...

    Jtrader API : new OCX...

    I'm not sure what advantage a VB.NET version of the control would provide. It would be slightly quicker (by about 10ms) as there would be no inter-thread communications. I'm not a VB.NET user myself but you should be able to import the current control into VB.NET use the TLBIMP.exe tool to...

    Jtrader API : new OCX...

    I haven't done an exhaustive study of brokers offering the API and I suspect most of the problem is finding the right person in the organisation who understands what you are talking about. RefCo certainly offers access as I have users of the control connected to RefCo. E-local provide access to...

    Jtrader API : new OCX...

    I am the author of this control so if any body has any questions or problems with it they can post them here. As to cost of using the API I believe PATS actually charges each broker with clients using the API about $3000 per month. The broker then 'distributes' this charge across his clients...

    Intra-day scans??

    In fact GATrader it will monitor NYSE stocks if you give it a list of symbols. What it won't do, which it does for NAS stocks, is watch the whole market for stocks that meet your basic requirements (such as price between $10 and $60 with over 1m pro-rata volume) and automatically add them to the...

    Intra-day scans??

    The MA crossover is not a standard alert but you can program it yourself simply by adding the MA's you want to the main display and write an alert rule MA1 'cross above' MA2. You can add any other criteria, such as Price>25 and Vol>1m, to make the rule more complex.

    Intra-day scans??

    green_latern you may want to take a look at MWatch from Mtrader at www.mtrader.com/mwatch or Intelliscan from RealityTrader at www.realitytrader.com/iscan. Both these scanners are fully programmable and can watch multiple MA's and MA crossovers in real-time. However, 1. They only monitor...

    Now that I have the lock up problem fixed I will complete coding a dll wrapper for the API so it will interface to my trading systems that are all written in VB. I will let you know when it is complete.

    PATS API Automated Trading

    I have received a reply from another member with the fix for this problem. The PATS API function ptLogOff() must be called before closing the app even if the ptLogOn() function had not been called. This functions closes all the api's threads, some of which are not closed by just unloading the dll.

    Order Entry API

    I have not really investigated commissions in detail as the first decision of what API to use will determine which brokers to investigate further. I believe Canon offer $14 per rt on the web site and PMB have quoted $12 per rt but these may be quantity related.

    Order Entry API

    I am also working on a NAS/S&P e-mini automated trading system and am still trying to evaluate various APIs. I am assuming a 1-3 contract system with minimum account size of $10K. So far I have found four possibilities: 1. IB API/CTC interface. This has already been discussed on this thread...
