Set alerts using API

[traider]

Does anyone know if this can be done?

You do it in your code.

This is an interesting question. If I understand it correctly, you would like to use API to set alerts which pop up on TWS when the condition is met. That could actually be useful.

I don't see anything in the API that can do that. The closest that I can see is to create a Conditional Order but set transmit to OFF. This way, the order will pop up on TWS, but will not be submitted.

Maybe post this question on https://groups.io/g/twsapi and see if others have any better ideas.

There are already alerts in TWS.

The question is, at least for me - Let's say I use third party data (let's say twitter feed or something) and want to create alerts when certain conditions hit. How do I push those alerts to be displayed on TWS via API?

Can you push the alerts to RSS from Twitter? TWS supports RSS.

Many other programs that do this available.

You can also send notifications to your phone, but that’s not what he asked about.
