I am going to be opening another Interactive Brokers account as I had before but instead of trading only the E-mini I will be trading stocks which requires I have several workspaces open at one time. I have one question.
I have a workaround if this can't be done but I thought I would ask anyway. Is there any way to click on a workspace file from windows 7 such that (if MC is already running with another workspace open) the current running MC simply opens a new workspace rather than starting another MC session in windows?
Thanks,
John
P.S. If you are curious as to why I want to do this here is the reason.
All my stocks will be in an MS-Access database program. My trading system is far to complex to be fully automated so I do a visual review of the charts. There is a calendar built in to the MS-Access program so I can post date the next visual review of a stock (potentially up to 1 month away). So when it is time to take a look at the chart again the I will initiate the opening of the workspace for this stock in MS-Access using a command that goes to the windows directory where the workspaces are to get the path (see VBA code below).
Code: Select all
Dim strSymDesc As String
strSymDesc = Replace(Me.fldCF_Subject, " ", "_")
Dim MyAppID, ReturnValue
MyAppID = Shell("C:\Program Files (x86)\TS Support\MultiCharts\MultiCharts.exe " & "C:\Access\Workspaces\FreeQuotes_" & Me.fldCF_Symbol & "_" & strSymDesc & ".wsp", vbMaximizedFocus)
Thanks,
John
