Hi all,

Just wondered if anyone out there has had experince programming to the Stellar API. If so, did you have any problems in doing so?

I'm considering building an advanced autospreader tool to avoid getting fined by ICE/LIFFE/EUREX for submitting too many trades.
 
I believe that TT already has a function built into it's latest version that only allows a certain amount of orders per minute to avoid any fines. It would probably just be easier to use that than programme your own.

Thanks for that... I wasn't aware of that feature. How would that work? Once I hit my limit on number of orders entered, does that mean that my orders are queued for submission once the next minute starts?
 
Never heard of Stellar, but I have a lot of trading experience (usually losing positions) with Stella
 
Does anyone else have any experience with Stellar Trading Systems?

I have been using it for click trading the past year and just got hold of the API to start developing.. If anyone got any experiences with it please share!
 
I don't like it.

I'm getting very bad fills. And I'm not enjoying the customer support either.
 
Mauzj,

What do you mean by 'very bad fills'? I am considering this system, but your comment has made me wary.

Also has anyone got some details of the API they can send me or post here.
 
Well, a lot of infrastructure based, but lately the fills i get on the bund/bobl/schatz fly have been a bit bad. No. Not a bit. Very bad.

If you're trading custom strategies, the price you ask for won't be the price you get, as the market can move before you get all your legs.
 
I am looking at it for the api, and it is more flexible in the way you can adjust the appearance. I am not a fan of TT so am looking for alternatives.

Occasionally the autospreader misses prices if you trade some two legged strategy with lots of computers in it like bobl-bund. But I think it's faster than for example TT, since the spreadorders are worked on a fast server, whereas with TT they are worked on the trading computer.

I've also experienced ridicoulosly bad fills in the bund-bobl-schatz fly recently. I've been using the autospreader for this for about a year and it's never been this bad. So I don't use it anymore. Don't know why it's this bad now, perhaps more competition with for example fast blackboxes and stuff out there now.

The API is a mess, but if you are proficient with C/C++ (code with pointers everywhere ..) you might be able to handle it.

May I ask you where you might subscribe to this system? Through which brokers and what do you pay for the system?
 
why don’t you get Schneider's developers to send you the Excel sheet [API]
 
I was told by Stellar sales that came in to see me that there was no excel interface that could interact with the API. They only supprted Excel RTD. Any more info on excel sheet much appreciated.
 
It’s like a feed from server, a bit of visual basic and everything to an excel sheet...
I don’t know if I can send it to you due to regulations/compliance with Schneider’s :(
