MurthySuresh,
 
thanks so much for your reply. I am glad to see your comments. I looked at the IB Controller and was very excited to use for AT, then called interactive brokers and the rep on the phone basically told me, the platform is not the same as typical retail platform and they don't understand the concept of lots etc..
 
With that disappointment, I gave up and started messing around Ninjatrader COM and Mbtrading COM etc hoping to get something going for Forex. After seeing your email, I called IB and asked for a Forex Specialist and a gentleman by the name of Gerald explained in such detail and it does like look like I can trade Forex through them. The rep I talked to few weeks ago was misleading. So I am waiting to get my paper account to test IBC. I wish I had known this earlier, I wasted several months trying to work out alternatives etc.
 
Do you currently trade Forex through IB?. If anyone on here is trading Forex live or demo via AB using IBC , pls let me know. I am specifically interested in knowing the symbol mapping and bracket orders for Forex. Marcin has helped with translate most of the esignal symbols to broker platform. However there are few that don't fall into that conversion. I am working around that now.
 
Thanks.
 
Cheers,Padhu

Padhu
Except for the real tick point click interface, i dont see MB trading
any superior to IB. Since Ami already does AT with IB, you may want
to rethink the whole thing.
IB is a forex ECN and thier commissions are very competitive with MB
and there are zillions of folks who use the current Automated trading
wtih IB.

seede

The real nice thing I liked about MB is the fact they are dierct
access/ECN type.

btw, they also do stocks,options and futures. So If there are users
