Manage order on IB server wth TwsSocketClient.dll. Possible?

Hello

Just an idea for a coding guru ( witch I'm not).

My Broker is IB and TwsSocketClient.dll is the dll that MC seems to use to talk directly to the broker server.

Is it possible to use this dll collection directly from coding. The end goal is to make sure that order do reside on IB server, not on my PC. I don't like the idea of living my stop loss to the "mercy" of my PC. I'm using a dll collection with Excel to do that but it would be nice to have this option ( orders on IB server) directly within MC

I got the idea, but no clue at all on any further steps to try it out.

Here IB define the dll collection content

Hello arjfca,

This should be possible not in regular MultiCharts, but in MC .NET. There you can place orders right from signal directly to your broker if you have such script.

A last question about this, maybe a dummy one, but I'm green on the subject

What is the difference between in the way to use
"TwsSocketClient.dll" and ( "GetMachineTime.dll" or "GlobalVariable.dll")

Meaning, If I could access the last 2 dll why can't I access the TWS one. Is addressing a dll is not a standard? Again, I don't have any clue on that

Martin, to do what you want from PLE you will need to have IB API and MultiCharts API purchased in order to develop your own connection for placing, modifying cancelling, monitoring orders, positions, account information and so on.
