IB - Booktrader 906 no more single click!

I am afraid I gave up trying to get it too work so I can't confirm one way or another. I was wondering if IB can't just show the book trader horizontally instead of vertically, that splash screen is a real real pain, I hope TT rot in hell.
 
Okay I got the hot key to work need to click on the order line, works fine. Also I have put a suggestion on the IB poll that they should publish two versions of book trader one with the trader turned 90 degrees so that the ladder is horizontal and it will not have the confo screens, TT patent specifically refers to a vertical price ladder not a horizontal one.

Brilliant. All I have to do is turn one of my monitors 90 degree but not tell the operating system to adjust it. Voila. :D

It's a tongue in cheek suggestion, if anyone haven't guessed that already. But we also would need a mouse software to make the mouse move in a 90 degree offset in that screen. Then we are all set.

Or. Screw IB's booktrader - use a 3rd party one. Small developers that TT can not whack. Whack one, and another pops up somewhere. I am not for copyright infringement, but if there ever was a case of copyright run amok, and worthy of circumventing any which way, this is it.

The TT patents that I've looked at (there are a lot of them, so it's hard to know which ones are being enforced against IB) explicitly state that the price ladder can be horizontal or vertical.

Although none of them mention 45 degrees...

That's it! Implement it 1/2 degree slanted :cool:

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.

The socket API lets you connect multiple clients.
 
Any decent programming half-wit can write their own price ladder in C# or Java to trade through IB. It takes time...about 3 months of spare hours of programming for something robust...not ability.

I guess those of you complaining the loudest are what you call your programming full-wits. ;-)

That being said, I'll be releasing a free direct-chart trading interface to trade the futures with an eSignal <--> IB interface about 6 months from this post's date. Thank gawd there's enough prior art in that area to where no one will ever get a software patent out of that idea.

I'm not a vendor. I eat my own dog food so it's going to be decent.

[BTW, I've never used bracket trader or zeroline trader, but if they haven't been sued off the planet by now by TT, then the TT lawyers must have a hard time locating them within the jurisdiction of U.S. Patent Laws]

Bragging about your oh so superior programming ability doesn't solve the problem , does it? Meh...

I found this application http://www.viperclicker.com/
maybe it can be useful, not really sure if it's what you guys need..anyway give it a shot.
 
Looks like a nice piece of software but it needs one click execution, without any confirmation, its the confirmation window that appears in booktrader that is the problem
