TS4 and Winbeep problem

["Bob Mc" <oakbridge@xxxxxxxx>]

I Need help with a TS4 problem and Winbeep. I have a real 
nice system on TS4 that works real well for what I need. My 
system gives certain signals. New orders, cancelled orders and 
filled orders. The system works on 45 min bars so there is no 
real reason to be in a super hurry to call the broker. Then I 
thought I don’t want to sit at home watching a screen all day 
when I should be out working. Sitting there all day would drive 
me crazy. Actually I have tried it. I must have been a hyperactive 
child. Keeping all this in mind, I came up with the idea that 
maybe the Winbeep feature would be the thing to do.  The 
system only gives filled order signals about 2 to 3 times per 
week. Not enough to want to stay home.  I ordered an 
alpha/numeric  beeper from a well known company and tried 
hooking it up to Winbeep. The beeper was very unreliable. 
Garbled signals and sometimes totally missed signals. I mean the 
beeper would go off but no words on the screen.  After 2 
months of this I switched to Sky-Tel by MCI-Worldcom. Then 
all the beeper problems went away. With that done I could 
concentrate on the basics. The problem now lies between 
Winbeep and TS4. I realize that 99.5% of people don’t use 
Winbeep.  

    What is happening is that I am not getting the signals I want or 
have programmed in.  All I want is Filled orders. Instead I am 
getting cancelled orders. These come in every 45 minutes as the 
program re-figures it’s position. Filled orders are supposed to 
come in only as needed. Instead I am getting 10 or 12 beeps 
daily. Not the 3 to 4 per week I need. Also I don’t get all the 
filled orders that come in. I check the STCC in the evening and 
it will turn out that there was a filled order but it never made it to 
the beeper.

    I have tried several things like re-checking the box in the 
morning that say filled orders. I tried removing other programs 
that may be running in the background and causing interference. 
Also fiddling with the morning update.   This problem is dynamic 
in that if I manage to do something that will fix it in the morning, 
then during the day it will go back to it’s old ways.


     So, has someone else seen this problem and conquered it or 
is it unique to my situation? Thanks in advance for your help.
