Quote from anarcho: I understand that sending orders from excel may be the least efficient way to go about it but getting the math done for...
There's no mention of this example in the DDE guide under support documents, that looks like it came from the Excel Basket example. I'm looking at...
Too funny! Looking at that basket example it looks like they use VBA to send orders through the API - from Excel. They sure don't document this...
Sterling supports RTD and DDE connections to Excel, but you only have access to quotes and position info. I use the DDE link a lot, it works well....
I agree, Sterling is the wrong way to go for recreating charts. If you absolutely have to recreate a chart I'd use another data vendor like...
I might be wrong, but I don't think you can send orders to Sterling with Excel. If you want to make this a "longer term" project and use it to...
Sterling is a very difficult platform to automate on IMO. There are a lot of gotchas in there. There's very little in the way of support from...
If you are spending more than $1000 for a PC and single monitor for remote trading (I assume manual) you are wasting money. Heck you don't even...
.04 positive slippage? That's more than our actual avg gain in real life. Lescor posted his stats some time ago. Not sure where they are but you...
Interesting, but this doesn't explain why VB6 is so much faster than VB.net does it? Or am I missing something here?
So far this have been an awesome thread, thanks guys! And thanks to MNX for starting it.
IBj, How is this going to appear in our execution window if I modify an order and incur a new minimum ticket charge? Will this "new" execution...
Thank you for the explanation. This all makes sense and I can see why you made the change. However, this change will cause a significant number...
That might be the intent of the change, but it's a fee increase to a lot of us that aren't trying to game the system.
Your example isn't quite correct. Where you say cancel, change it to "modify". As soon as you cancel an order and send a new one, you incur a new...
If IB is really going to do this, the least they could do is eliminate/reduce their minimum share charge. I have to wonder why bother having...
I'm pretty sure demo accounts expire after a few days.
I suspect Oil down $2 might have had something to do with it.
Any idea if a later version of .net might fix this?
Nice idea! Thanks for the explanation.
