Hi Rog, I've actually written a few auto-trading systems for IB in the past, using VB6. Maybe I'm wrong but I was under the impression that they only had an ActiveX interface into the TWS? I was looking for a native .Net interface. I want to base the book exclusively on .Net an if possible, I...

Apologies if this has been asked before. Can anybody suggest a direct access broker, which offers a NATIVE .Net API? I’m not interested in ActiveX controls or wrappers around COM objects. I’m looking specifically for a native .NET API. I’m not fussy about, which markets are offered by the...

Thanks for the top-quality feedback guys. I find myself agreeing with Rols & Rog111. I don’t think that I should expect too much in terms of book sales, but rather, I should maybe use the book as a springboard to promoting my programming services. To be honest, this is pretty much what...

Thanks pcj, I'll do that right now. Rog1111, I was thinking of C# or VB.net simply because they're easy to learn, extremely accessible in terms of the amount of online help and resources available and above all, they’re FREE! Arold

That's exactly the kind of thing I needed to base my decision on. And I've decided on teeChart! Thanks Stew

Sounds cool Stew. Would love to see an example if you have time later Arold

Hi Stew, thanks for the recommendation. I’m reviewing the web site now but as yet, I can’t find any mention of the ability to add your own, ad-hoc markings to the graph? For instance, I want to add small green and red arrows to mark my entry/exit points. I would also like to add horizontal...

Hi, I'm building my own back-testing application in .NET (C#). I need the facility to display market prices (and equity curves, etc) so that I can eyeball entries and exits, etc. There are numerous .NET charting components on the market, and many of them have the facility to display financial...

Book for Sale Hi, by mistake, I ordered two of these books, so if anybody wants a brand-new copy, still sealed, make me an offer! Arold
