Well, I started writing it for my own use.. but realize there may be some
other traders who can find this useful as well. Getting information out of
popups would require me to use windows API, which would restrict my code to
run on a windows box only. By using Java, I am able to run TWS & my program
in a Linux box, with no fear of machine lockup in the middle of trading. Too
bad I can't run TS on Linux.
As far as popups being easier to implement.. well I don't know lol.
Implementing a ServerSocket in Java isn't exactly rocket science 8 )
I might look at popup handling in future.. if I decide to put in the time to
support other TS versions, which might lack a email notification. Also I am
not familier with JTrader API... which might require running on a windows
machine.. we would see!
Thanks,
Abhijit
