I highly recommend, if having to rewrite, to implement an own add in with rtd server and user defined functions. Provides most flexibility.

Ouch...a lot of work in C# dot-net. Good luck.
It's not much work. Are you referring to the much work because of C# or in regards to the project itself? I have already done it. It's very simple actually. Whipping up an rtd server takes minutes. Writing a UDF is a matter of seconds. The hard part is the feed handler. But I already have my own mature IB api that can handle all sorts of historical and real time requests and subscriptions. It really is just bringing all the components together.
This is a genuine question.
When you design, do you use flowcharts - I have yet to see a sample design flowchart from a programmer - am I missing something, or, if this is the case, why do most programmers not use flowcharts to design the GUI and functional requirements?

Or a hybrid combination.
Simple block diagrams or something like the below...if any diagrams at all (depends upon complexity):

Flowcharts take too much work/time, imo.
Same thing really, only different!
How many programmers actually use the tools to aid in design, change and implement?
Can any programmer here show us an overview of a software programme they have completed to working stage.
For instance, for someone like me, who knows very little about programming language, a good programmer should easily be able to demonstrate to me how the code connects to IB API, requests data such as bid and ask, and send orders such as limit or market.
If I can see a picture of it, I can easily understand it - same as a trading chart!

And what do I get in return for explaining and whipping up diagrams? It's time and efforts invested, just so you understand better? By your own admission you don't know how to program, so what benefit will that bring to you?
Well, you know the old saying "one good turn deserves another".
The benefit it brings is understanding, much in the same way that understanding the 30 min bar chart is by far the most important chart to look at - but what benefit will that bring to anyone
