Re: IB order type / some trick for this?

Just as a followup to this, since I never heard from anyone - I was able to automatically monitor the spread & place the order from Excel. The Excel spreadsheet demo provided by IB did most of the work - I had to make small modifications. This was really cool - I think some strategies (like spreaders) can be written more effectively using Excel/DDE than a combination of EL/some order placement dll.

Thanks,

I have a ER2 / EMD spread on for a few days. I want to unwind this when say EMD - ER2 is 10.00. Without having to write code, is there some kind of conditional order I can put in to do this for me? Using IB.

Any innovative order entry ideas most appreciated. Then I can just put in a GTC bracket and forget about this. Thanks,
