Adventures in Automation

Congratulations! Nice project and thanks for making it so accountable. Now that IB will see that you are so profitable will start to charge you as a professional! Just kidding.
One thing that we should perhaps all learn from your approach is selectivity. Clearly, your approach doesn't mind to be inactive for several days, until a good chance to jump in comes out.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks for checking out the thread! Actually, I had to chat with IQFeed to keep my non-pro status. I don't think IB would have been as forgiving...but since I do not subscribe to any real time data through them, it is not a problem.

What is the cost for IQFeed you're looking at?

That's funny. I too subscribe to IQFeed, but they never called. I guess that it is because I am not so successful like you!

Trust me when I say that success or lack there of had nothing to do with the call

Thanks. I'm thinking of not using data feeds through IB anymore, and just use them for execution. I guess that's what you're doing?
