Interesting. I have 3 or 4 AFLs (strategies),
each running 3 or 4 tickers at the same time. I figured I needed an open
window for each combination (say 9-16 windows), but perhaps that is not
so. the AA window can only run 1 AFL though, right? I also
have a master window that displays, via static vars, the operations occurring in
each of the windows.

I think I saw a comment by TJ somewhere that the
ibController was really designed to work from AA window. As far as
connectivity to ibc, it's immaterial where the code resides ... as long as you
make the call to ibc via AFL ... you get the connection.
The advantage of using AA is that, for me anyway,
you can let the AA scroll through a watchlist, without any special code for
it.

How can you use the AA window to send the buy /
sell signals to the IBc? I didn't know that was possible.

With method #1, I would work off a watchlist
and do all the data precessing in the AA window (to create the buy / sell
signals).
Would have one window dedicated to monitoring
portfolio parameters (open positions, account balance etc) which would get
its information via static variable.
A second window,totally
independent) would monitor any issue of interest, but is not
necessary for the operation. Of course you could have a window for
each issue. Ideally computer would function with no "supervision", but for
an initial period it would be necessary for the learning
period.

I use your choice 1. I'm not sure
exactly what 2. is or how it would work. You'd still have to have
the same number of charts open, right?

I have been playing with ibcontroller
paper trading ONE issue for about a week and got the flavor for
it...
Now starting to design a portfolio
trading system... nor sure which way to go...
1. Run the trading code inn AA window and
have an indicator window to monitor portfolio status (via static
variables from trading code)
2. Run trading code from indicator window
and have charts for individual issues create trading signals and pass
them to the trading code window as static variable.
3. Any other suggestiion?
Method #1 - I beleive Herman had found
this too slow for the number of issues he wanted to
trade.
Method #2 - In order to assure data
integrity, I beleive that each window will have to be hard
coded (by use of foreign() ) in order to insure data does not change
if window is selected for some reason. If I am right, this is very
cumbersome.
Appreciate any feedback
