Bill,

Currently I am autotrading my systems. I placed my pc in a datacenter. This
center has all nessecary features,fireproof,connected to the backbone of the
internet,generators for backup power etc.
Placing the orders is not the real problem. Error handling is the most
difficult part. I am using Dynaorder in combination with www.tenfore.com and
TS2000i. Dynaorder has the possibility to establisch 2 way communication
between TWS and TS2000i,but you will have to program it yourself. Besides
that I wrote alot of macros which are checking vital functions like internet
failure, correct fillings of orders etc. I am using www.unisyn.com for that.
Hope this helps a little...

regards,

Dennis
