Feature request: support Freetrade broker
Freetrade ( https://freetrade.io/ ) is a very low-cost direct market access broker. Its "batch" trades, whereby orders are filled once per day, are entirely free of charge. Or "instant" trades are v cheap, eg £1 to trade UK stocks. I expect only the latter would be supported by MC automation. Would ...

Re: IB Combo Order
Not sure why this is "solved". Buying and integrating an expensive third-party product: "IB API dll" isn't a solution. I agree with alex522, is essential to spreads or arbitrage trading. MC's Portfolio Trader is badly compromised without combo orders. Should have been delivered at the same time as PT.

How to detect whether autotrading is enabled?

Is there any way of programmatically detecting whether automation is enabled\disabled, such as a registry value, file or TCP port change?
