Re: Interfacing Tradestation w/ DATEK or other broker

there is a big compliance issue about placing
orders with autopilot system. the rational is
what if the program gets stuck and starts
generating garbage orders or gets hung up,
who takes the responsibility for those excess
or unfilled orders? customer or the clearing firm?
now, of course there are systems like that.
i am working on one at this time.
tradestation.com might have a semi automatic
approach where ts generates orders but you
still have to click it in.
bilo.
