When I called it said "to have $30 automatically charged to your account press X" or "hold for next operator" First I did the second option but...
To be honest, today IB really ticked me off big time. I was stuck in a position in NQ and could not exit. I was charged $30 to exit the trade...
Bigapple, I don't no what that error means. I use Win2000 and don't have this problem. Good luck.
when you run the program try replacing GLOBEX with DTB and replacing ES with DAX and put in your expriation date. I believe this should work....

Done. Just redownload the .Zip file. Remember I only made this for ES and NQ on Globex. So some displays may not be correct for other...
Ok fellow traders, I'm making available a scaled down version of my trailing stop trading interface for Interactive Brokers. It only supports...
You should look into IB's API. I learned Visual Basic just for the purpose of automating my stop logic with my own program. I don't use TWS...
yes you will easily get filled instantly at the bid for sell under most normal conditions. I don't mean to pry, but I hope you realize what you...
More like 4 trades per half second! --- The IB demo quotes are in no way similar to the actual trading quotes during the day.
try something called tradelabstrategies.com , I think that is the link. There is a free program there, I believe.
also there Globex quotes are .7 of a second snapshots which could affect stop market order triggers and efficiency.
