simple IB automated system

Thanks for all the interest in my thread, all good tips.

I would use TradeStation, however, I'm Canadian and last time I tried to open a TradeStation account to trade stocks they told me that I could only open a futures account(this was a couple years ago). Plus I already have an IB account.

It sounds like I may need to learn to do some programming in Excel.

My system is quite simple, always in the market, reverses position when a signal is triggered.

You can try MultiCharts.

It is EasyLanguage compatible, and it has an Auto-Trade interface to IB.



Caution: MC is still under development. Not all the EasyLanguage functionalities are completed yet.
On the other hand, they have extended some of the EL capabilities. This program eventually will be more powerful than TradeStation.

You can lease the TradeStation8 software without opening an account.

Then you can use TradeBullet to route the TS orders to IB.
