Alright - straight from the horses mouth (Natalia, it's just a "phrase").
*We HSL users are officially toast come 2005*. Time to start looking at
alternatives.
Just doesn't make any sense to me. Pushing down a version down our
throats that so many users are complaining about - why??? And no effort
being made to address the user's concerns before turning off the old
working version. It's not like we are asking for support for old
versions - just use it (maybe charge us for it?)
HyperTrader, excellent reputation building exercise, I must say. At
least the cruz brothers didn't put a timebomb in ts2ki, and we thought
it can't get any worse. hmmm...

ok,
here's the file for download - seems like many people interested in it - I
have been emailing all day LOL. Seems like this link is kind of transient,
and can go away soon
http://d11.yousendit.com/C/2HH92833UQZHN3RTVGBDPTQT7F/Omega2000%20Edition%20for%20IBrokers%20TWS.zip
This is hypertrader.com's HyperServer Lite for IB TWS v 2.1.4.294
From the amount of request I have received, maybe the good folks at
hypertrader can clean up their act. They had a very good product, and in
the name of improvement, killed it.
Gary, to answer your question, HSL connects to TWS and stores data
directly into GlobalServer, which is available for charting immediately,
just like you have it with eSignal, DTN etc.
IB has severe limitations on number of simultaneous symbols. From their
website:
* Market data fees are charged at the close of each month during the
first week of the subsequent week month.
* Customers without enough cash to pay market data fees will have
positions liquidated to cover the fees. Those customers without
enough equity to pay market data fees will have their remaining
equity applied to the market data fees, and then the account will
be closed.
* Partial month subscriptions will be charged at the full month's rate.
* Customers will receive an allocation of 80 real-time concurrent
market data lines in the first month of trading at IB. After the
first month, customers will receive a market data line for the
current month for each $8 in commissions spent in the prior month
with a minimum of at least 40 market data lines.
* Advisors and Brokers without any funds in their master account to
cover their market data fees will have their market data turned
off until they fund their master account.
As you all can see, if you trade stocks, it wouldn't be very good for you.
I personally trade futures only and this is more than enough for me.
There is some concern that the old versions of HSL has some hidden
time-expiration.. if that is true, my choice would be:
1) Pay for something that works - HyperTrader's competitors
2) Get something for free that doesn't work, not tested (HSL latest
versions)
Doesn't take a genius to make a decision.
Carl, you have asked me if I have tried their order entry system as well?
Yes, I did. You need to see
http://forum.hypertrader.ws/showthread.php?t=607
It's been almost 2 months now - not a single soul to say "yes" to my
question. For the record, I have found it to be poorly tested and buggy.

Hello Abhijit,
Would it be possible for you to send me the last good working version
too?
If you want to try this site (sometimes it is real busy) one can leave
the file there for a length of time and more than one person can
download it.

Either way-thanks! Have you tried Hyperserver's auto order entry too?
Best,
Carl

Hi, I'm looking for some feedback from folks hooked up to IB realtime

most reliable interface out there?
Thanks,
