IB - Booktrader 906 no more single click!

We don't know for sure if this has anything to do with litigation, but if you're paying money for a 3rd party application, who's to say it won't suffer the same fate along with your cash?

If an open source public domain java app was made available (wink wink) that talks to the API, that may be a better solution. Obviously the API has no clue if you're transmitting orders through a ladder or otherwise.

PS - Can you connect 2 API clients to TWS simultaneously? I presently use one for charting but execute through Booktrader, so I'd need to run two at the same time.

you can run more apis together, you need to use different ports

ZeroLine Trader is an Java API solution, works great for me, easyer then booktrader. :-)
 
I tried to download 906 tonight, wanted to see what they've done. It's not downloading as a standalone upgrade. Standalone upgrade is still on 905.4. Either that, or they rolled it back themselves.

In the meantime, I downloaded Zeroline today and gave it a try. Works well and inexpensive. And of course, there's always the cadillac... buttontrader.

How was the time difference going through Zeroline and using the 1 click function compared to pre-906 BT?

Thank you,

I would say they're comparable in terms of speed. I had them side by side and couldn't tell the difference. But Zeroline does have a 30 day free trial. Give it a shot. You can try it in simulator mode to get used to it.

I got the same response, so the mafia is trying to shake them down.

Good luck fighting this bullshit, I stand behind you 100% as a customer. It's ironic that a firm that innovates and leads in getting low cost direct access for the small guy is being told to cripple its offerings by a bunch of lawyers.
