Hello,

I have been autotrading my systems now for about 5 months now. It has been
a difficult and time consuming process to set all things up.
Currently I am trading the combination TS2000i and Dynaorder, but will
switch to a custom made autoorderentry system very soon. This system will
be much more versitile then dyanorder and has alot of error handling
features in there.
The big problem with autottrading is the error handling. For example ,what
if internet goes down,Interactive brokers goes down,or pc crashes? For all
this there is a solution. To create a good starting point , I moved my
tradingpc to a datacenter. Because of this I am connected to the backbone
of the internet, have multiple connections and also powerbackup. From
there I moved on....

regards,

Dennis
