Re: Advice on coding Tradestation API with IB using C++ or VB

Just a DLL will be hard since a TS DLL is very limited in what it can do.
For instance you can not open a window or do File I/O (you can try but often
it crashes or TS's timing gets really bad).
I use DDEExecute (in a DLL) to "fire" data/events from TS into other
applications, it seems very fast and reliable. BTW: this is one way traffic
only.
That "other" application can than interface with IB using TWS.
I have my tarding automated that way and could no longer do without it.
Thanks
Robert
