IB - Booktrader 906 no more single click!
- Thread starter atrocious
- Start date
Hmmm, that's actually the compiler I already used for these scripts. Did you try to run it in Xp compatability ?
Disabled UAC ?
Same problem with any script even the first versions?
You could also try to download the latest autohotkey release and install it on your PC, this way you can double click the source file .ahk and the script will work as an exe even if it's not compiled.
Reading around ,It seems Vista 64 hates AHK
lemme know
This should work on any windows x64 system.
Basically I re-wrote the same exact script for AutoIt which is the "Parent" of Autohotkey.
They share very similar Language and Functions, but AutoIt fully supports 64 bit arch.(at least,so they say)
You'll find X64, x32 and source file + ReadMe
Run X64 ofc.
as you can see the core of the script is not very different from AHK:
While 1
WinWait ("Order Confirmation")
Opt("MouseCoordMode", 1)
$pos = MouseGetPos()
if $pos[0] >= 300 Then
Opt("MouseCoordMode", 0)
MouseClick("primary", 278, 104, 1, 0)
Else
Opt("MouseCoordMode", 0)
MouseClick("primary", 50, 104, 1, 0)
EndIf
Opt("MouseCoordMode", 1)
Mousemove( $pos[0] ,$pos[1], 0)
WinWaitClose("Order Confirmation")
WEnd
Lemme know how it works, I currently don't use any 64 bit sys, so I couldn't test it, the 32 bit code works perfectly here
First, thx Mark for sharing this script.
second, as a data point, i am using 64 bit, saved the .exe file to my desktop, clicked it, and that was it- it works!
thx again. you saved me some money yesterday; as the delay and chasing limit orders would have been costly in some fast moving markets (copper esp.) that i'm trading.

Thanks Mark and Asterix for your help. Your are doing a huge favor to those who don't have the know how, which is most of us. I went with the Java and it worked great.
I have a quick side question which is related to alternative front ends to IB/booktrader. I don't want to change the subject, but since some on this board were familiar with other options maybe they could help.
I'm mainly an equities trader who's recently been forced to move over to IB from a normal equities trading platform like Lightspeed or Sterling. The issue I'm having with booktrader and IB in general is the ease of flipping through symbols quickly. It was easy to do this on other platforms, just have the level II as the active window and type in different symbols, and up pops the data. It seems like button/ninja/bracket etc are best suitable for traders who trade 1 or a small group of symbols. Does anyone have any ideas for an interface where I can just type stock symbols quickly and freely without much hassle, and would allow hotkeys for order entry as opposed to mouse clicking? Any ideas would be extremely appreciated.
Cheers and good trading
