Re: interface with IB using TWS

Dear Bill/List,
I guess it was "programmers" talk, I'll try to clearify.

DDEExecute is a windows API call that you can use to send a "command" from
one application to the next.
I have implemented DDEExecute in the PushPOP DLL (version 5 or higher) which
is freely available.

I developed an application I call DDETrader which interfaces TS with TWS
(TWS is the software that runs the Interactive Brokers order platform, you
download it from IB).
Thanks
Robert
