My guess is that it would be straightforward with AmiBroker -- set up
the trading algorithm, and have AmiB call the .placeorder() method
when the buy signal is triggered. To help ensure against a network or
server shutdown I would probably have the algorithm always follow the
first order with a stop loss order. That way if a sell signal comes
along and the network is down at least the loss is limited. -- Jim
