Justin,

I'm trading eminis with Interactive Brokers using Dynaorder and TS2k (two
systems on two puters).
Both systems are fed by Bloomberg via the same company's feeder (Dynastore).

It took some time to establish a stable quote feeding to these two computers
but DB made it after several visits to my office.

As I'm trading eminis only, I'm switching to their new "Lime Edition
Dynastore" right now - it allows me to get rid of the expensive Bloomberg
which I (almost) do not use anymore and to feed my puters with the data from
Interactive Brokers (DB gives this "Lime" feeder for free to his existing
users, I believe).

He also helped me to code my systems for trade via Dynaorder and I love this
platform now.
Of course I have made all possible precautions: I'm running IB's own
software to monitor the trades and to intrude into the system if something
will go wrong. The whole idea was not to make a "money-box" but to automate
some routine actions and to follow the strategy "by the book".

I also expect DB's visit nearest days to install "remote execution"
functions of Dynaorder, which will allow me to send buy/sell orders
generated by my TS2k to my clients' computers for the execution.

The platform has no "supervisor" functions, but they are planned. The
compatibility with other brokers is also expected soon.

Andrew, TT
