Amibroker with IB

#83
esignal is a data provider for IB

if you are using esignal for data and ib as your broker then it works
and is natively supported by IB

in any case some collaborators report me that it would be better iqfeed for the data, even if all 3 providers (ib,esignal,iqfeed) are not exceptional in the data feed; the least worst is iqfeed

Hi bait, according to you is best to
send orders to the server
ib or leave amibroker to manage orders in automatic, the case is trailing: is best send correct order "trail" to ib o leave amibroker to trig stop trailing and send the "sell" order? Thanks

IB has trailing orders in both profit taking - REL and a stop loss order type
or TRAIL

i havent experimented but i think instead of letting amibroker manage the code for trail order and using ibc.ModifyOrder() to repeatedly modify the values it is better if you can tell ib to do the trailing itself as this trailing is native to the broker and more reliable rather than amibroker managing the code.

if you can make this sort of code please send me a copy of the same code at [email protected]

i am in the process of making this sort of code right now.

the speech is even the supertrend is like a trailing stop, the problem is in the specific: manage orders to reside on ib servers or manage everything from AmiBroker, and then AmiBroker is confined to the buy sell and vice versa. I think the best thing would be the first indication 'cause if we have an internet failure the order would still run back then you would lose the order; and then the condition is: set to send the orders correctly, however, that reside on the servers of IB and not wait for the indication of AmiBroker, that is, buy at x and sell at y when a condition is triggered.That is, mine is only a safety talk, like says the amibroker programmer"
DON'T LEAVE AUTOMATIC TRADING UNATTENDED AS CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES MAY OCCUR LIKE INTERNET FAILURE, POWER FAILURE, OTHER UNEXPECTED SITUATION THAT MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS FINANCIAL LOSS."; the fact remains that certain conditions can only be indicated by AmiBroker
