Hi AB'ers,
I'm thinking about switching from Datek to Interactivebrokers because
IB seems to be aggressively pushing the cutting edge in a few areas --
namely making their trading platform accessible by API and their
Universal Account, which makes it possible to trade stocks, futures
and world currencies from one base currency. [And their commissions
are very low too].
The API has piqued my interest:
ActiveX methods
http://www.interactivebrokers.com/html/webhelp/Int
eroperability/ActiveX_Other/activexmethods.htm
connect()
disconnect()
reqMktData()
reqMktData2()
cancelMktData()
placeOrder()
placeOrder2()
cancelOrder()
reqOpenOrders()
reqAccountUpdates()
reqExecutions()
getIds()
I'm wondering if anyone has hooked up AmiB RT to the IB feed.
The placeOrder() and cancelOrder() has me very interested -- this
opens up the possibility to write a program for robotic trading. I can
easily imagine an AFL that watches a basket of 100 stocks for intraday
breakouts, issues a buy order and sends a pager alert to me.
