hi,
hope some guys in IB respond to this,
I use TWS854.4 , the latest tws version, and latest java.
I have two problem with IB's booktrader.
first one
go to configure-->booktrader-->buttons-->New.. to create new button in booktrader, it does create a button in booktrader, but if you want to modify it by select Edit, it doesn't response at all.
second, with alt-left click to create bracket order, i can specify the stop and target, for example, for YM buy(dow future), stop will be -20 and target will be +40, but if I switch to trade ES(sp500 future), those number will be too big for ES, usually, for ES, I will set stop 2 and target 4. there is no universal stop and target for any market, every contractor should be different. every time I switch to trade different contractor, I have to remember to change those bracket order, in fast market these day, it's unpractical. and sometimes I forgot to change, and a disaster will happen, it has happened to me before many times,
please could you fix this so that everytime I switch to different contractor, booktrader remember my last setup for this particular contractor, I usually trade 4- 5 contractors at the same time.
thanks a lot
