TWSLink - universal plugin to trade an InteractiveBrokers account

it is thought to trade IB from

Excel
TradeStation
eSignalEFS
AmiBroker
WealthLab
MetaTrader
MultiCharts
Perl
Python
etc...
or what ever can use DLL or COM.
 
yes.
TWSLink -> TWS -> IB -> Destionation

since TWS runs on the same machine there is no nameable
lag of time.

TWSLink uses prop. API
TWS uses FIX or something simliar
 
Because a lot of people like to use other platforms instead of TWS. A lot of people use automated/semiautomated strategies and just feed it to TWS to trade.
 
if TWS has all features you need for your trading,
there is no reason to use TWSLink (of course)

but assume, you like using Excel, TradeStation, AmiBroker,eSignal
or any other favor application or script or programming language. can you place trades from those platforms to InteractiveBrokers,
or getting account information or market data ?
normally not.

TWSLink links your favor application with an IB account
and this without to much coding efforts thus keeps
your strategy code transparent.

if you decide to change your favor chart or autotrade
application, you can still use TWSLink to place your orders
with nearly no change of your code (except syntax of new env.),
as long your new application can use DLL or COM.

TWSlink implements all features of API 9.3 and much more.
not just placing simple LMT or MKT order.

short:
if you have a trade robot on one side and an IB account on the
other side and no bridge between (with all features you need), then
TWSLink is a solution

What do you mean by "if you have a trade robot on one side"? If one has a trade robot then he has already a program that sends trades to IB, hasn't he?
