Calling another program from AFL

[bharatk8]

Hi

AB has built in capability, for sending email.But since you have opted for another route,I guess it must be better method,If so Pl. elaborate merits of opting for this alternative.

Since cancelling SL order and squaring up outstanding trade/s at market price in trading terminal involves same repeatative mouse clicks and keys of keyboard,I think if this job is assigned to HotKey or AutoIt, it will save time and result in decrease in slippage. Pl. help.

Dear Friends,

I will outline a more simple procedure to automatically send snapshot of Ami through E-mail.

Step 1 = Download "Hotkey".
Step 2 = Write Script for Hotkey like this...

^k::
Loop, 200
{
MouseClick, left, 268, 112 ; First top tab
sleep, 20000
send !fe
sleep, 3000
send [email protected]
sleep, 3000
send {tab}
sleep, 3000
send "Subject of mail here"
sleep, 3000
send !s
Sleep, 110000
}

Step 3: Pressing "Ctrl k" , With the Ami open , Launches the script and will send the chart to your e-mail every 3 mins, for 200 loops. Both the loops and the time between each mail can be changed.

Hi,

I am not able to PM.Pl. enable PM.

I could not see 'PM' option in settings. May be Admin has different policies for PM. Do you get it ? Under which section ?

I saw a code for making phone call from SKYPE.This code prompted me to explore other possibilities too.

Thats true. If you visit AmiBroker Yahoo Group, you will see plenty of discussion on this topic (skype).

For what purpose do you use ShellExecutive?

I use it for similar requirements - to send SMS to multiple users whenever system triggers any signal. You will need to have an account with some sms sending intermediary who in turn has tieup with telecom companies.

Hope this helps.

Can it be used for sending orders from AB chart to ODIN/NEST TRADER/NOW trading terminal?

I have seen similar one at http://blog.tipster.ca,but it sends orders to terminal of Interactive Broker.

I tripple checked but could not find Enable PM Option in CP>>Edit Option. May be it has some min. posts requirement - only admin can clarify on this.

No because it has lot of hurdles - like SEBI regulation, rigidity of brokers to share their API, etc.. But looking at the direction in which wind is moving, you can surely see these things in next 1 year on many major platforms.

FT (ODIN) already has a product for algo based trading - see http://www.ftindia.com/solutions/brokerageSolutions/TechnicalTraderSolutions.htm

Hi

Have you tried this link for enabling PM?
http://www.traderji.com/profile.php?do=editoptions

Algo trading is for trading in auto mode .

I just want to make manual order placing bit user friendly.Removing SL and

squaring up pending order at market price involves same repeatative

mouse/key clicks each time.If it is accomplished in just one click on chart or

a custom tab in main menu of AB then it will help in taking care of slippages.And it is not as complex as algo trading and may not involve API.

I am also exploring ways to plot charts on blog at regular interval

automatically.Can you help?I had seen the code on net but I am not able to find it now, it is possible.

Yeah - I did. Actually I am fairly conversant with forums but still I checked many times (even now before posting this).

Sure. See :
1. http://finance.yahoo.com/badges/
2. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-free-website-stock-tickers-for-financial-geeks/
3. freestockcharts dot com. You will need microsoft silverlight for it. You will find lot of similarities in their charts and cbloomnews dot net.

It actually depends on 'how far' you want to go. Just googling for 'how to display yahoo charts on website' will give you plenty of pointers and ready to use code.

Hope this helps.
