Hi Ed
Ok i tried to understand what you wrote me.
lets
assume.
You donwload your daily statements from IB .
I done it also . I
donwload it in word format. Then i open it and
copy the data in a
textfile.
This is what i get. (from my papertrading account).
The data
looks like yours only with some Taps.
I thing until no its ok ...

Now the proplems start.
You say
then i could read this with amibroker ( ok i need a software
for this and i
hope you will help me ) .
So when i do all this steps what you telling me i
will get something
like a chart in AB what shows me the performance of my
trades ..?
I do not have understand how you read this textfile into
Amibroker...
Do you mean you Import it ...(import wizard import
ascii)
But there you could only import quotes !?
and also this part
with the static variables i dont understand.
maybe it would be more clear
when i understand how you read this in AB.
But ok now im a little bit
confused. i hope you or also the others
cuold help me to solve
this.
regards
christos

"trick" I use is for the software to
recognize if the line it reads is a
long entry or a short exit etc. is
to save information for each symbol in
static variables. For instance
the IB data may look like:

save all relevant information in static variables and check for a
sign()
change of the number of shares. If it finds the positions is
closed then
the static variables are removed and the relavant
information is stored in
Composites at the appropriate date.
