Multicharts also works with IB

I would like to request for the methodology of order filled. For example, ES (Futures of S&P 500) current price is 1234. John places five (long) limit orders at 1200 at 1:30pm. Mary places one (long) limit order at 1200 at 1:35pm. Suppose ES goes down, "touches" 1200 and goes up again. (1)...

Thanks Peter.

Dear Peter, If I call TradeStation TradeDesk at 2:59pm, the staff can exit all outstanding positions for me. But if call TradeDesk at 9am and request to exit all outstanding positions for me at 2:59pm, TradeDesk cannot do this. What else can I do? Many thanks. [email protected]

Trader333, thanks for advise. But my situation does not work because the PC is down already.

Auto-Trade = Algorithm Trade = System Trade If you have a trading strategy (e.g. RSI over 80, Moving Average Cross or any other logic), you can Write a program to instruct the computer the do LONG or SHORT automatically.

Thanks Nelson. I was a VBA for Excel and C programmer. I should be able to handle the API. Besides IB, do you know any auto-trade platform on Hang Seng Futures? Thanks

Hello HKWoo, IB provides API to do trade only. Can I use IB to do backtest on historical data? (Shatin) Maggie

IB means interactive broker.

FTSE.com TradeStation or MetaStock

I used to trade E-mini S&P 500 automatically on TradeStation. Is there any similar platform for Hong Kong Hang Seng Index? Thanks Maggie:p
