Automation

[traderman57]

Hello everyone. I am a newbie here so I first want to say hello to all. My question is......Are there any recommendations on the best third party platform to automate tradestation strategies and clear through IB? I am familiar with Tradebullet, Ninja and Multicharts (to a point) but am looking for the best possible solution when trading multiple strategies across several markets within the same workspace. All ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Hotch. I am concerned about dropped orders when trading so many startegies at the same time. Any experience there?

In the TWS API, orders are identified by a unique order id (integer). You will receive order status events showing the progress of each order. These events are matched to the order by the order id.

Read the TWS API documentation:
