Hi,
Is there going to be a interface added to the beta in the near future to allow Automated Trades in IB from a Signal strategy? Any update on a time frame would be appreciated.
Automated Trading Interface For IB
Once the strategies are fully implemented you should be able to route the orders generated by your strategy to the broker of your choice (in case it's supported - and IB will).Hi,

If I am not totally wrong you can already send orders to your broker from the Trademanager window (although I'd strongly suggest to test it on your paper trading account first).
Hi Chris,
I am not sure I understand what you mean. When I load a new trade manager chart all of the options are grayed out. I don't think that feature is working in the latest beta yet. I agree this would be the interface mechanism for managing a trade, but I think some script code is involved to get the signal trigger to fire off a order. I was able to get Multicharts to talk to another trading platform (NT) through the API interface they provided, but it was not stable. I would prefer to have the signals and orders managed in one program like Multicharts. Hopefully they will have something to play with soon

Hi widgetman,
you need to connect the TM to IB, then it should work. Pleaseb take a look at the attached picture, showing an order send from the TM to IB.

There is nothing to change manually - the TradeManager will obtain your Client ID, accound number, account balance etc. directly from the IB software.Hi Chris,

Ok, found the problem. Buttontrader blocks the connection. It seems that you cant use 2 different front ends at the same time.
Hi,
I was able to get a trade manager to connect to a live IB account. I tried to enter a limit buy order and could not get the order to appear in IB. Is there a trick to this ? I also was wondering it the logic is in the MC platform yet to actually send an order from a signal indicator when it fires.
Thanks

So far signals are not sent for execution.I was able to get a trade manager to connect to a live IB account. I tried to enter a limit buy order and could not get the order to appear in IB. Is there a trick to this ?[/qiote]
Please look up the Messages tab in TradeManager, there should be an event log displayed; most probably the reason was thet you were not connected.

Hi,
I am currenty trying to send automaticly order form TM to IB but nothing appears on IB platform. I already have done it with success with TS but here it is more simple but I cant. I wondered if it was normal that there is no box to chek "generate order" at the bottom of the Format Signal window.
I someone could help me.
Thank you.
Michel

Automated order sending from MultiCharts is not implemented yet.
When it's ready we hope it will be simple and user-friendly, but so far there is none.
