Hello,
The newest beta 4.06.1 features AlertIF function that allows
to generate visual, audio, e-mail alerts. In addition to that
it allows to launch any external program so it is also possible
to trigger an order through IB API with a small application.
I will provide a sample code soon.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
