Cool! - I'll be watching for it. :)
 
Can anyone explain this? As far as I know the DDE method allowed multiple routing options. Is this still the case? This is a quote from the IB manual "About TWS Interoperability".

"NOTE: When you connect to TWS using any of the interoperability components, you must route all U.S. stock and option orders through BEST order routing."

Does this preclude using IB for orders directed to ECN's like Island?

Tried the ActiveX sample C++ program again, worked fine now both with the browser/standalone versions.... this is beautiful.

Somehow it doesn't accept MKT orders on the emini, but that's fine with a marketable LMT order.

And the fun begins :D :D
 
dozu888,

I'm envious of your success. I'm still struggling.
Since the begining of this thread I've moved on to
a new computer running Win2000 (5.00.2195 Service Pack 2)
and I've compiled under MSVC++ V5 (I also have V6).
The error I get is that the instruction at address
0012ff24 (see Call Stack below) wants to write to a
memory location which can't be written to.

Can I ask you a basic question? I'll
focus on the TestActiveX project, which I understand
you have working.
** Should I be doing anything with the tws.ocx file
that exists in the ActiveX directory?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Richard

dozu888,
Thanks for your input. I just noticed that the solution to
my problem was offered at Wealth-Lab.com by TraderNewbie
who suggested I link statically with MFC (by default I was
using DLL linkage to MFC). The program now works OK,
and to quote dozu888, "And the fun begins".

I think it's great that IB has offered this to us. Over the
last 3 weeks I've been actively trying to get access to
the J-trader programmer's API documentation. After
3 weeks I still haven't been able to sign a proper
NDA form which comes from London. The red-tape
and lack of response is quite imposing.

Well done IB.

Richard
 
Hi ,

I don't even know what language you guys are talking? :confused:

The only thing I know is that I also would like to operate tws through a customized program .....But I don't know anything about programming.

Can someone tell me where can I get some help?
I would really appreciate any kind of assistance that would make my ib trading a little easier..


Thanks!!!

Angela.
