Hello,
The main problem about auto-q-tion is that it uses .NET
framework.
This means that users of all Windows versions except XPwould
need to download
and install another >20MB of "bloatware" from Microsoft.
And Win 95 users are totally out
because .NET does not support Win 95.
Such a simple program as auto-q-tion can be written so it
takes 0.1 MB and does not require
additional libraries.
... and I am going to provide one.
Best regards,Tomasz

Subject: [amibroker] EXTERNAL GLUEFOR
TWS TRADING LINK.
Tomasz, the last programing that Idid was
in Fortran in 1963 on punch cards, so bear with me If this link
below is not related to the (EXTERNAL GLUE SOFTWARE)that is
necessary for the alerts from Amibroker to be able to enter
trades into IB's TWS. This auto-q-tion trading interface program will
send orders from Tradestation to IB. It will also work with any program that
will print to a text file when triggered by a market signal. This
program is available for free download, they just ask for a donation to
PayPal. I am anxiously awaiting the final joining of Amibroker,(theglue
program), and IB, so I can start trading. I don't yet have Amibroker,
but I am in close contact with a friend who does, and I too am very impressed
with it. Ron D.

The info below is details about the
interface requirements. Ron D
<FONT
face=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica color=#000000 size=2>Yes it works with all
versions of Tradestation as well as esignal 7.0, WealthLab,Ensign and
any software which is able to print to a text file upon your market
signals. It reads the text file and translates the orders for execution
on InteractiveBrokers. the syntax is as follows: Each text
line is comprised of six items separated by commas. Item 1.
Action 1). [place] to place a new order 2). [cxlplace] to cancel
a previously placed order and place a new order or to place a new order
where none existed before (cancel previous is ignored) 3). [modify]
to change price or order type on an existing order ( but you may not
modify from buy to sell or vice versa) 4). [cancel] to cancel an
existing order Item 2. Side 1). [BUY] 2). [SELL]
3). [SSHORT] for stocks Item 3. Quantity Integer
quantity of order eg., 1 ,100 numtostr(numcontracts,0) in the TS
strategy code numtcontracts is an input variable which determines how
many contracts or shares for that trade. numtostr converts the number to
a string format for printing and ,0 tells numtostr to round to no
decimals Item 4. Order Type 1). [MKT] marketorder 2).
[STP] stop order 3). [STPLMT] stop limit 4). [LMT] limit order
5). [REL] relative order 6). [VWAP] volume weighted average
price Item 5. Limit price If you are using a limit or stop
limit this item is the limit price Item 6. Trigger Price If
you are using a stop or stop limit this is the stop price which triggers
the order. numtostr(buystp,2) in my TS code buystp is a variable
which holds the stop price on which to trigger numtostr converts the
stop number to a string for printing and ,2 tell numtostr to round to 2
decimals because I am trading nq futures which are priced to 2 decimals.
Hope that helps
